Transforming your syllabus from a static document to a living, breathing resource enhances your teaching flexibility while being more engaging and accessible to students. What’s not to love?
Teaching and learning in the open can improve pedagogy and enrich the classroom experience across many dimensions—including increased agency, attention, engagement, and varieties of modes of assessment, to name a few—but instructors are often wary of the privacy and safety implications.
Join Marisa Petrich, Instructional Design Librarian and experienced open teacher and learner, and Erika Bailey, Data and Digital Scholarship Librarian, for an active discussion where you will learn how working in the open can be both practical and exciting, share your experience with your peers, and get answers to your questions about student autonomy and safety in open assignments.
What is Open Pedagogy? How does it relate to OER? What are the benefits for your students and yourself? What are “renewable assignments?” How do UW instructors engage in open teaching and learning? Where can they get help?
All these questions, and more, are covered in our most recent Teaching Tips Live conversation featuring Marisa Petrich, Instructional Design Librarian and Open Teaching and Learning expert.
