BC Open Textbook Summit 2017

Open pedagogy has multiple meanings and involves many different kinds of practices. In this session we will involve participants in a discussion of open pedagogy as well as showcase three different OER and open pedagogy projects. Christina Hendricks (UBC) will discuss the Open Case Studies project, which collects case studies written by professors and students, that are openly licensed for anyone to revise and reuse. Marianne Gianacopoulos (Langara) will share her experiences with international students in Post Degree Diploma programs, who are moving past the traditional textbook and Learning Management System to build skills that will serve them beyond the classroom walls. Michael Dabrowski (Athabasca) will discuss a project involving a collaboration between 6 Western Canadian Universities, including professors, graduate and undergraduate students, as well as members of the Canadian Hispanic community, to engage in open collaborative pedagogy/andragogy to take students beyond the core subject matter of courses.
