Introduction to Open Pedagogy
Open Pedagogy may be understood as an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education and as a process of designing architectures and using tools for learning that enable students to shape the public knowledge commons of which they are a part. In
practice, open pedagogy can involve creating, adapting, or updating open educational resources with students, building course policies, outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and schedules of work collaboratively with students, or facilitating student-created and
student-controlled learning environments. This session (co-facilitated with Arley Cruthers and Andrea Niosi) will introduce principles of open pedagogy, showcase examples of innovative applications at KPU, and equip you with resources and mentorship to support
further experimentation.
