Open Education
Open Education is an approach to teaching and learning that expands pedagogical possibilities—supporting more engaging, collaborative, and authentic learning—while emphasizing accessibility, collaboration, and sharing through openly licensed, freely available materials and practices.
About Open Education
- What are Open Educational Resources?
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are educational materials that you can legally and freely copy, use, adapt, and re-share. They can provide faculty with content that can be customized for their course and reduce textbook costs for students.
- What is Open Pedagogy?
Open pedagogy is a teaching practice that invites students to be creators of knowledge, rather than passive consumers. Students engage in information creation through the use of renewable assignments, providing work that can be openly shared, adapted and built upon by others. .
