What is Open?

“OER are teaching,

learning, and research

resources that reside in the

public domain or have been

released under an

intellectual property license

that permits their free use

and re-purposing by

others.”

open = free + permissions

Free, unfettered accessperpetual, irrevocable

What is Open Pedagogy?

Iterating Toward a Definition…

David Wiley has said Open Pedagogy includes:

• Teaching and Learning Practices that are possible when you adopt OER but are impossible when you adopt traditionally copyrighted materials

• Use of OER• Students work in the open: create and share their work

• The Challenge: … “ we need at least 15 – 20 more examples, before we can have a substantive conversation about open pedagogy”

Page 10: Cohere: Open Educational Practice Presentation

What is Open Pedagogy?

At it’s core, the question of open pedagogy is “what can I do in the context of open that I couldn’t do before?”

– from David Wiley in his blog post: Evolving Open Pedagogy.

How do WE, as educators, best engage our students

in DEEPER learning?

Function of CONTENT: for students to learn to identify what matters to them.

The shelf-life of discipline-specific content is short. The shelf-life of learner-centered inquiry is forever.

MatrixThe Matrix: a tool for generating examples…

Open (Resources & Approaches)practices that are possible when adopting OER but are impossible when you adopt traditionally copyrighted materials”. Use of OER, requirement for students to work out in the open: create and share their work

Not Open (Resources & Approaches)what we might think of as “traditional” - costly “closed” textbooks, learning community activity limited to the f2f classroom or behind an LMS firewall

Learning Centered Designauthentic, flexible, learning-centred (vs. content or instructor-centred), creative assignments that invite reflection, real-world learning, student choice

*1* 3

Teaching Centered Designwhat we might describe of as “teacher-centred” methods: lecture-heavy, “disposable” assignments , assessment focused on exams, multiple choice, students demonstrate learning to instructors only, everyone does the same thing, or limited/instructor-determined choices

*1*• Murder, Madness & Mayhem

(students edit wikipedia entries to “featured” status”)

3• student-led real-world

research or service projects that include critical reflection and connections made to course concepts and (not open) course resources

2• Open-book, multiple choice

final exam in a course that uses an open text

4• Essay that only the

teacher reads/grades: Is [Willy Loman, Hamlet, etc) a tragic hero?

And now, back to Willy Loman…

Is Willy Loman a tragic hero?• Discuss, in 1200 words. • Documents should be double

spaced, Times New Roman font.• Submitted electronically to the

course drop box (accessible to instructor only).

How can we do this differently?

• Go to the website and check out the examples others have contributedhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDf9Uem4SID0anlUQPxWdwCh3SkvQnEpvQu_bRGRUIU/edit

• Think about the assignments you’re currently using to assess students – could you use OEP to make them more meaningful and engaging?

• Could you ask your students to help you redesign the assignments?

What’s next?
