What is Open Pedagogy

Open pedagogy is a practice which uses the 5R activity framework to design lessons and assessments that encourage students to improve or create course content. With open pedagogy projects, students are empowered to engage in information creation through non-disposable or renewable assignments. The student is both creator and contributor of assignments that are openly licensed, allowing the content to be shared, revised, and reused by future students in a course. 

Researchers such as Robin DeRosa and David Wiley have written extensively about open pedagogical practices and how they benefit faculty and students alike. You can consult some of the websites provided below to explore how other educators have incorporated open pedagogy into their teaching practice or view some of the examples included on this page.
