FASS Centre for Scholarship and Innovation

Welcome to The Open University’s Centre for Scholarship and Innovation in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences – FASSTEST!

FASSTEST supports the critical, scholarly inquiry into teaching and learning in the Arts and Social Sciences with the aim of providing a clear evidence base for best practice in higher education. Here at The Open University we can draw on particular expertise in online and distance education, and we are especially inspired by our university’s mission to be open to people, places, methods and ideas. We are committed to placing innovation at the heart of teaching and learning and to exploring new and better ways to inspire and enable learning, opening up higher education to all, regardless of background or circumstances.
