The Game is in There

Open Pedagogy centers students as creators, not just consumers, of knowledge. In practice, this means faculty (you!) create learning experiences where students demonstrate understanding through the act of creating learning objects for others.

In real life, Open Pedagogy:

• Gives learners choices to use contexts and formats that are personally significant for learning content and skills.
• Provides learners with scaffolded guidance to get support until learning is internalized.
• Provides meaning for learning by sharing their learning with others - by making their work visible and and inviting them to share it openly.
• Ranges from giving students agency in deciding format to working with faculty to co-create the assessment rubric for that assignment to co-desgining a course syllabus using guided or open inquiry.
