Defining Open Pedagogy
Unlike OER, Open Pedagogy cannot be neatly defined. It is both using resources with open licensing in teaching practices but also allowing students, with the use of these licenses, to in turn contribute and share their own knowledge and work with the world. We can think about Open Pedagogy as an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education and as a process of designing architectures and using tools for learning that enable students to shape the public knowledge commons of which they are a part.
Here are some examples of Open Pedagogy:
- Adapt or remix OERs with your students
- Build OERs with your students
- Teach your students how to edit Wikipedia articles
- Have your students help write test questions
- Facilitate student-created and student-controlled learning environments in your LMS
- Build course policies, outcomes, assignments, rubrics, schedules of work collaboratively with students
