Open Educational Resources (OER) and Affordable Course Materials

Open pedagogy can be described as "an access-oriented commitment to learner-driven education and as 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" (DeRosa & Jhangiani, 2017). 

For example, students engaging in open pedagogy can...

• create or edit Wikipedia articles to improve public access to information
• contribute to the creation of an open textbook that can be used and revised by students in future courses
• create and revise test banks used to assess comprehension of course content
• create games to support learning content
• create tutorials and instructional videos to improve understanding of course content for peers
• edit and revise the syllabus for a course
