While there are numerous positive opportunities offered to students through open pedagogical practices (OEP), it is also important to acknowledge and address student concerns when it comes to OEP.
Open Pedagogy is intended to be student-led, with students (supported by instructors) creating Open Educational Resources (OER) that can be shared online with an open license allowing for future adaptations.
Research shows that in the process of Open Pedagogy, students have concerns about the public sharing of self-created materials. These concerns can stem from their own levels of confidence with subject matter, the perceived accuracy of information they create, and the public sharing of their work. Instructors who collaboratively facilitate Open Pedagogy projects with students can openly address these concerns.
In this short presentation, join this student and instructor presenter team as they share a few best practices for addressing student concerns with Open Pedagogy.
