Overview<\/h2>\n

In this module, we focus our attention on the open, intentional design of learning experiences, collaborative engagement and assessment. Recall that Nascobemo & Burgos (2016) defined the four main characteristics of an open educator as one who:<\/p>\n\n

    \n \t
  1. implements open-learning design by openly sharing ideas and plans about their teaching activities with experts and with past and potential students, incorporating inputs and transparently leaving a trace of the development process;<\/li>\n \t
  2. uses open-educational content by releasing their teaching resources through open licenses, by facilitating the sharing of their resources through OER repositories and other means and by adapting, assembling and using OER produced by others in their teaching;<\/li>\n \t
  3. adopts open pedagogies fostering co-creation of knowledge by students through online and offline collaboration and allowing learners to contribute to public-knowledge resources such as Wikipedia;<\/li>\n \t
  4. implements open-assessment practices such as peer and collaborative evaluation, open badges and e-portfolios \u2014 engaging students, as well as external stakeholders, in learning assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This module explores how an open educator can grow and expand their wings in the open. As mentioned in the \"Teaching in the Open\" module, several frameworks for open education have been developed over the years. In this module, we explore the \u201cFramework for Designing OEP-based Courses\u201d (Zhang, et. al, 2020<\/a>). More specifically, we examine how to apply the lenses of this framework to connectivist and student-centred teaching and learning, develop open collaborative engagement opportunities and create open renewable assessment opportunities intentionally within course design.<\/p>\n\n

    Outcome<\/h2>\n

    Apply OEP concepts to course and assessment design by identifying various learning theories and strategies appropriate to teaching and learning goals.<\/p>\n\n
