• The code of the UOC applications, which are open source so you can develop, customize and improve them.

• The chance to participate by making comments and suggestions on the experiences available in the environment and sharing how you've used them.

The main purpose of Open Apps is to place the UOC’s know-how at the disposal of the community, so that educational institutions and individuals can apply, adapt or develop it.

Another purpose of Open Apps consists of helping forge cooperative ties between users and organisations, going beyond mere application or use.
