In 2019, six KPU instructors participated in an Open Pedagogy Fellowship that focused on
the design of “renewable” course assignments that have a larger audience, life, and impact
than traditional assignments. Each of these assignments involved students developing
resources that support progress towards specific sustainable development
goals<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/>g/>. This fellowship program was developed
in partnership with Montgomery College (Maryland, USA), whose faculty partnered with KPU
faculty in designing these assignments.

During this student showcase event, hear from students enrolled in these classes and learn
about how your colleagues are connecting classroom learning with the biggest challenges
facing humanity. The inaugural cohort of open pedagogy fellows include Candy Ho
(Educational Studies), Pamela Ip (Marketing), Jennifer Hardwick (English), Kathy Dunster
(Urban Ecosystems), and Michelle Franklin (Sustainable Horticulture). The call for
applications for the 2020 UN SDG Open Pedagogy Fellowship will be shared at the
showcase.
