Open Space Learning (OSL) in Real World Contexts brings together three National Teaching Fellows  from Education, Creative Writing  and E-Learning at the CAPITAL Centre. This interdisciplinary project will provide for students, teachers and support staff the space and means to act in and on the world using enactive and experiential learning, applied drama, role play and ethnodrama. It will create a sustainable  ensemble of student performers and a training route for theatre practitioners to deliver OSL. It will offer support, consultancy and training in OSL techniques for academics and support staff wishing to embed enactive modes of learning in professional practice. It will carry out evidence- based research to create technology platforms for mobile, blended and research-led OSL; to identify workable assessment methodologies, and will test the efficacy of OSL, measure its impact and disseminate its findings to the HE sector. With personal and social creativity for academic and vocational innovation at its heart, this project offers students the skills for self-fashioning needed in the real world.
