Fall 2019 virtual Faculty Learning Community on Open Pedagogy
by Rajiv Jhangiani 13 Aug '19

13 Aug '19

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/>. 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. To express your interest in joining the FLC please complete the webform at: https://www.kpu.ca/open/flc Thank you! Rajiv
