Dear colleagues,
Earlier this year, we organized KPU's first interdisciplinary Faculty Learning
Community (FLC) on Open Pedagogy<https://www.kpu.ca/open/pedagogy>. Meeting over the
Spring semester, the group explored a variety of open educational practices that go far
beyond open textbooks and critically examined ways in which students and faculty can use
open resources, open licensing, and open tools to work together to design powerful and
authentic learning experiences.
This Fall will mark the launch of our second FLC cohort. The group will read a single
article and meet for a virtual discussion twice a month on Fridays from 9-10am (beginning
on September 21). The schedule of meetings and topics is as follows:
September 21: From open educational resources to open pedagogy
