One of the easiest ways to understand the multitude of ways that different instructors and institutions think about and implement open education is by looking at specific concrete examples.

For this activity, you will choose and watch a presentation from The Open Education Symposium (https://www.ualberta.ca/centre-for-teaching-and-learning/events/oer/index.html).

In your Learning Portfolio entry, please include the following:

1.) Provide a summary of the information shared in the session, including details on the specific project and the successes or challenges of the project.

2.) Reflect on how the presenters understand and define “openness”. What did openness mean in this context? Do you agree that this was an example of “open” practice?

3.) Highlight 2 interesting points from the discussion. Perhaps think about whether a similar project or initiatve could work in your field or program.

 

NOTE this submission may be completed in writing, video, audio or another format as long as you clearly communicate the above points.

 

Post your summary and reflection in your Learning Portfolio. Make sure to also include a short self-reflection on why you chose this activity, how it aligned with your learning goals, and what you learned through your critical review of the experience.
