ADOPTING THE MINDSET OF OPEN PEDAGOGY

Open pedagogy aims to transform students from consumers of educational content into its creators. To build good instructional material, it’s important to understand the needs and styles of learners. With a focus on the psychology of learning, this interactive workshop will explore how open pedagogy can help educators to better understand students’ learning needs and help students better understand themselves as learners. We’ll start with ideas from the open access textbook STEM Writing: Mindsets, Tools, and Techniques (forthcoming, North Broad Press, CC BY-NC 4.0) and then collectively find more ways to develop students into open access learners.
