Supporting the switch to Open Ed also requires the preparation of assessments, usually project-based, and active in-class learning. Learn to make project-based learning and in-class activities work using the Scrum project management method. * Open Pedagogy in Trades Classroom Teaching at BCIT Speaker: Chad Flinn (Instructor, Electrical Trades and Entrepreneurship for the Trades.
