New subject: [Openkpu] Call for participants: Faculty Learning Community on Open Educational Practices

31 Aug 2017

      Dear colleagues,

Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) are supportive and ongoing discussion groups that
allow KPU colleagues to gather from across departments in order to discuss and develop
their skills around a specific teaching and learning topic. This Fall we will launch an
FLC that will focus on open educational practices, with a special emphasis on open
pedagogy<https://press.rebus.community/makingopentextbookswithstudents/chapter/open-pedagogy/>.
Open Pedagogy is both an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education as well 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.

Members of this FLC will meet monthly, between October 2017 and April 2018, and will
critically explore and workshop innovative open educational practices and how these might
be implemented in one or more of their own courses. This FLC is limited to 10 participants
and will be facilitated by Rajiv Jhangiani (Psychology). Faculty interested in joining
this FLC or learning more about this opportunity should send an email to
open@kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca> by September 15.

Please feel free to share this call with colleagues who may not be on the Open KPU
listserve.

Many thanks,
Rajiv
