# Practical examples

With the start of the orientation phase focused on OBT&L, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is following in the footsteps of the many other (educational) institutions that are, or have been, concerned with this didactic method. Examples of projects within these institutions show the variety of applications of OBT&L. Currently, the best known and most described application is within (art) history. However, several examples show that OBT&L is suitable for more academic disciplines and courses. Within the Erasmus+ program, the Stichting Academisch Erfgoed, in cooperation with several European universities, has started an exploration of existing applications that will result in an evaluation and guidelines for an online toolbox. Information about this 3-year project can be found here. Without intending to replicate such a large-scale evaluation, below are some examples of OBT&L for illustration and inspiration.
