Open Your Teaching: Enhancing Student Learning through Open Education Resources, Pedagogies and Practices

Event Date & Time

Event Description

In-person

This event is part of the CTLT Summer Institute, taking place from August 19–22, 2024.

Open Education is a teaching and learning approach that utilizes unrestricted access to learning materials, collaborative knowledge creation and inclusive pedagogical practices in order to increase access to knowledge. In this workshop, we’ll explore the strategies that instructors at UBC are using to open their classrooms, incorporate new resources and perspectives in their learning environments, and contribute to their students’ learning beyond the classroom. We’ll define what makes an educational resource or practice open, identify ways of finding and reusing open materials for your courses, and explore approaches to developing open assignments that empowers students to contribute to public knowledge.

Facilitators:

• Will Engle, Strategist, Open Education Initiatives
• Rie Namba, Educational Resources Developer – Open Resources, CTLT, UBCV
