Welcome to UCF's openSpace

Sharing is good
openSpace is University College Falmouth's platform for making teaching materials free to learners all over the world through Creative Commons.
This is your space to explore, experiment, develop and grow...a place where your learning and your knowledge is shaped through your interactions, peer feedback and collaboration with others interested in the same subject. It's about you participating in an active community of learners. The journey is as important as the destination.
We are building openSpace one course at a time, starting with teaching materials from our MA Professional Writing distance learning course and our new Intellectual Property Rights for Educational Environments module.
Courses
MA Professional Writing 'Taster Sessions'
Our 'Taster Sessions' act as mini courses to introduce students to specialist writing forms taught on the course. Students use these 'tasters' to determine what writing specialism they will chose to pursue on the course. Taster sessions include: Business Writing, Non-Fiction, Novel Writing, Screenwriting, Writing for Children and Writing Features.
MA Professional Writing Screenwriting Unit
Our Screenwriting Unit is a full unit of study which represents a substantial part of the MA Professional Writing degree.
NEW! Intellectual Property Rights for Educational Environments (IPR4EE)
IPR4EE is a 30 credit, postgraduate module that introduces and builds awareness of aspects of intellectual property rights (IPR) and copyright within course design - and development linked to the Professional Standards Framework. The module is aimed to be used to educate lecturers and academics who are responsible for designing, developing and delivering courses and curricula. The 30-credit unit is designed along three strands for repurposing and delivering as 10, 20 and 30 credit blocks.
