The Coventry Open Media Classes (COMC) Project focused on the development of four new Open Media Classes. Two of them are photography classes: one a BA module Picbod, and a masters level class; together with a class on Creative Media Activism and another on Media and Cultural research projects using social media: Living in a Digital world.

The project team from the Department of Media at Coventry University included: Shaun HidesJonathan Worth, and Peter Woodbridge, with other participating media researchers and practitioners, students and external contributors working together to make a wide range of learning material openly available through these classes.

The project is supported by JISC as part of the their  OER Open Educational Resources Programme Phase 3 

The Open classes make this material open for use and re-use under a CC BY SA licence. They also give access to networks and communities of subject specialists, professional practitioners and wider learning communities.
