Dear colleagues,
The Open Education Working Group is delighted to announce the creation of an Open Pedagogy Fellowship in partnership with
Montgomery College (Virginia, USA) that centres on the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 goals that address a wide range of social issues, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and peace and justice.
This fellowship is designed to assist faculty with creating
renewable assignments (all of which will carry a Creative Commons license) to help students become agents of change in their own communities. Each fellowship team (which will include at least one faculty member from KPU and one faculty member from Montgomery
College) will begin to design three renewable assignments in Summer 2019.
It is anticipated that 2 applications will be selected for the UN SDG Open Pedagogy Fellowship, which includes training and support from the Office of Open Education along with a grant of CDN$1000 that may be used to hire one or more student assistants.
Open Pedagogy Fellows will be required to attend a kick-off meeting and three additional meetings throughout the summer.
KPU faculty interested in becoming a UN SDG Open Pedagogy Faculty Fellow should discuss their interest with
Rajiv Jhangiani, Special Advisor to the Provost on Open Education. There will be priority consideration for applications for teams, including interdisciplinary teams. Communications with MC faculty
and students can be done entirely through web conferencing and/or email.
Completed applications must be endorsed by the Dean of your Faculty and submitted to open@kpu.ca by midnight on April 1, 2019.
Applications will be adjudicated by the Open Education Working Group. Faculty will be notified of acceptance into the fellowship the week of April 8, 2019.
