The OpenGame project is an Erasmus+ initiative aimed at enhancing the capacity of higher education educators to utilize open approaches through gamified methods from October 2019 to September 2021. Key outcomes include a handbook of open teaching practices, a gamified course structure, and a forthcoming game. The project emphasizes open educational resources and pedagogies, offering a framework of competencies necessary for effective open education practices.
