SCiLAB

SCiLAB is the Scholarship Centre for innovation in online, Legal and Business Education. We are based in the Faculty of Business and Law at The Open University.

As experts and thought leaders, we research and promote cutting-edge developments that examine the theory and practice of online teaching and learning, in both business and law.

We have funded research that provides vital insights into teaching and learning methods, helping us to create a better experience for students and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.

Our teams provide support and expertise both within and outside of the university. We publish pioneering content through blogs and articles, provide staff development and training events as well as promoting dissemination of research and innovative teaching and learning methods.

We provide media interviews and press commentary, work with external partners to develop bespoke training resources and offer co-production opportunities - working with organisations to deliver new and innovative course content or qualifications.

Our experts offer keynotes at industry and Higher Education events, provide consultancy, as well as delivering online teaching surgeries and seminars to businesses, professional organisations and other Higher Education institutions.

We also offer evidence-based advice and guidance to organisations from public, private and third sectors that are looking to provide or improve their online learning offerings.
