To give a brief overview, open pedagogies enables faculty to grow as educators and create more collaborative, engaging learning experiences for students. It’s a form of experiential learning in which students demonstrate understanding through the act of creation. The products of open pedagogy are student created and openly licensed so that they may live outside of the classroom in a way that has an impact on the greater community. It is the use of open educational resources (OER) to support learning, or the open sharing of teaching practices with a goal of improving education and training at the institutional, professional, and individual level. Simply put, it is the practice of engaging with students as creators of information rather than simply consumers of it.
I’ve used this approach in my subtopic of the Learning Design Project. The first few subtopics educate students about budgeting, family saving and investment and insurance which leads to my subtopic: creating an EXCEL file where we adapt all the information to create a system to record and track all the numbers regarding the previous topics. This is a great way learning approach for students to learn and implement technology into their daily lives as the world is approaching a more technological future. Most systems and workforce is being digitalised and if these tools/systems are learned and used correctly, students will have an upper hand in the future.
