Our Process

Another goal is to design open pedagogy into your course.

Open pedagogy takes OER as a jumping-off point for rethinking the relationship between teachers, students, and knowledge. If teachers and students can now modify their textbooks and learning materials, we shift the student emphasis to contribution to knowledge as opposed to simple consumption of knowledge. Teachers and students become learners together, and “content” becomes a dynamic, always changing category with which we engage rather than a stable set of facts to be mastered.

Examples of open pedagogy

• Adapt or remix OERs with your students.

• Build OERs with your students.

• Teach your students how to edit Wikipedia articles.

• Facilitate student-created and student-controlled learning environments - Laulima locks students into a closed environment and assignments are "disposable". Consider encouraging students to openly license some of their work.

• Encourage students to apply their expertise to serve their community.

• Engage students in public chats with authors or experts.

• Build course policies, outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and schedules of work collaboratively with students.

• Let students curate course content.

• Ask critical questions about “open.”
