Full Description of the Session

Open Pedagogy encourages development of 21st century skills, and it can increase learner engagement. However, some structure and careful thought is needed in designing open learning experiences. This session will address practical concerns for teachers integrating OP into educational practice. OBJECTIVES:

Open pedagogy matters in the field of education, because it is one way to both provide low-cost options to students, and to encourage newer and more engaging pedagogy. However, open pedagogy only works if instructors have worked out practical issues, like explaining open licensing to students or how to assess student work. This session provides a hands-on opportunity for participants to design an open pedagogy experience, and consider all of the practical issues related to that lesson. Participants will explore their own ideas around how the 5Rs can change student experiences, and then they will engage in problem solving for how to address practical concerns. At the end, participants should walk away with an idea for implementing open pedagogy in their own teaching, and some tools for addressing overall practical issues.

While this session is largely hands-on, and speaks mostly to people who have some basic knowledge in using OER, it is appropriate for people at any level of familiarity with open pedagogy.
