Open
Pedagogy<http://openpedagogy.org/> is an access-oriented commitment to
learner-driven education and 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.
Open pedagogy in practice can include 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 such as Domain of One’s
Own<https://reclaimhosting.com/domain-of-ones-own/>n/>.
In 2018, KPU ran two cohorts of an interdisciplinary Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on
Open Pedagogy (one face-to-face and one virtual). Each 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. Each group read and
annotated a single article and then met for a biweekly discussion.
This Fall, KPU is proud to partner with Keene State
College<https://www.keene.edu/>
in Keene, New Hampshire for an inter-institutional virtual FLC on Open Pedagogy. The FLC
will meet biweekly on Mondays at 1:30pm Pacific Time (4:30pm Eastern Time) on the
following dates: October 7, October 21, November 4, November 18, December 2, &
December 16. The FLC will be co-facilitated by Karen Cangialosi (Professor of Biology
& Open Education Faculty Fellow, Keene State College) and Rajiv Jhangiani (Associate
Vice Provost, Open Education, Kwantlen Polytechnic University) and will be limited to 10
participants from each institution. Participants are expected to attend all of the
sessions.
