What is Open Pedagogy?
Maha Bali,
Reflecting Allowed,
Apr 25, 2017
This is a link to a video conference on open pedagogy hosted by Maha Bali and including a number of the people talking recently about this topic (but by no means all, nor from all perspectives). Some of the related resources:
- Year of Open - What is Open Pedagogy - various authors
- Catherine Cronin - Opening Up Open Pedagogy (and open educational practices)
- David Kernohan - Roaming Autodidacts and the Neo-Reactionaries
- Tannis Morgan - Openness and Teaching, Learning, and Student Success
- Sukaina Walji - Critical reflections on openness in the ROER4D project
- David Wiley - When Open Worlds Collide and Wandering Through the Open Pedagogy Maze
Some thoughts gleaned from the conversation: first, there needs to be a recognition that 'open' applies here to more than just pedagogy and more than just the classroom. And there's a role here for 'open conversations' above mere content and resources. There are many ways to be open, and we have to ask why people are trying to define 'open pedagogy' (or 'open practices'). And there's a big difference between openness as granting permissions, recognizing freedoms, or making invitations.
