Open Pedagogy
Open pedagogy is an educational approach that emphasizes collaboration, accessibility, and the sharing of knowledge. It encourages educators and learners to co-create content, fostering a sense of ownership and engagement in the learning process. By leveraging open educational resources (OER), this approach removes barriers to access and promotes inclusivity in education.
One of the key principles of open pedagogy is the active involvement of learners in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. This not only enhances their critical thinking skills but also prepares them for real-world challenges by emphasizing collaboration and innovation. Educators adopting open pedagogy can create dynamic, interactive learning experiences that are both meaningful and impactful.
Open Pedagogy Roadmap (PSU)
Open pedagogy can be defined as projects or assignments which have the characteristics of: engaging with students as creators of information rather than simply consumers of it; experiential learning in which students demonstrate understanding through the act of creation; inviting students to be part of the teaching process/participating in the co-creation of knowledge; moving away from single-use assignments in favor of situated, collaborative, and renewable ones; Student agency in deciding if and how their work is shared.
