Open-space Learning (OSL) Open-space Learning, or OSL, is a pedagogic methodology.
OSL is an interdisciplinary, or better, a transdisciplinary, pedagogy, that seeks to challenge the lecture and seminar mode that dominates as the teaching orthodoxy in some universities.

Participants in OSL, typically but not exclusively, learn in an 'embodied' way.
