Call for Proposals - Open Pedagogy Talks, March 2022
Krysta McNutt
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce an interprovincial initiative called The Open Pedagogy Talks, a series of lightning talks focusing on open educational practices (OEPs) in higher education. These 15-minute talks will be delivered by educators and students who are engaged in open pedagogy and learning, utilizing open educational resources, and integrating open access materials and strategies in higher education.
The purpose of these talks is to create an accessible, virtual space for educators and learners to engage in conversations about open educational practices and bring more awareness to opportunities to mobilize OEPs in diverse educational contexts. For these talks, we share Paskevicius’ (2017) understanding of OEPs:
Teaching and learning practices where openness is enacted within all aspects of instructional practice; including the design of learning outcomes, the selection of teaching resources, and the planning of activities and assessment. OEP engage both faculty and students with the use and creation of OER, … and support participatory student-directed projects.
Potential speakers are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute talk that falls under the umbrella of the following streams:
Exploring Open Pedagogy: These talks focus on the foundations of open pedagogy, why it has been impactful in higher education, and examples of open pedagogy in higher education.
Instructional Design for Open Pedagogy: These talks focus on integrating open pedagogy into current and future instructional design.
Designing Open Educational Resources: These talks focus on creating, identifying, using, and sharing open educational resources in higher education.
