Open Education Week: What we mean (and don't mean) when we say Open Education
(Seminar/Conference)
This session will introduce the concepts of open education and open educational resources within the overall context of openness. The term Open Education broadly means resources and practices which reduce barriers to learning.
Two of the most popular applications include: teaching openly or open pedagogy -- the idea of letting the public into your classroom -- and the use/adaptation/creation of open educational resources which allow for greater academic freedom and pedagogical flexibility. Open educational resources (OER) are "teaching, learning and research resources in the public domain or released under an intellectual property license [such as a Creative Commons license] which allows their free use and re-purposing by others."
By the end of this interactive session participants should be able to articulate explain several ways one can engage in open education, list benefits and potential drawbacks to open educational activities, and explain whether one might engage in open educational activities in the future.
