OER Revisited: From Open Content to Open Pedagogy

Session Description:

The STCC OER initiative has grown significantly in the last five years. While emphasis has been on the use of open course content, there are various other ways to bring openness into the classroom. This presentation will introduce the concept of open pedagogy and explore how students can become active participants in their education, rather than just consumers of information.
