Putting Equity Into Practice: Open Pedagogy


Our Recommendation

We like that this guide expands on open pedagogy approaches by challenging us to think about ways critical pedagogical approaches such as culturally responsive teaching enhance learner engagement in open projects. For each open pedagogy instructional strategy, the guide includes steps, concrete ideas, model assignments, as well as pedagogical resources and suggested digital tools.

“By its nature, Open Pedagogy allows faculty to design courses to be more equitable and inclusive. One of the central tenets of instructional inclusion is to consider the context of the learners in designing course materials. Open pedagogy allows greater freedom for faculty to curate materials with their own students’ context in mind.” Catherine Cronin, Independent Scholar (2017)
