This reading moves us away from thinking of open as a purely online practice. Reading and reflecting on this article contributes to your development in <a href=\"https:\/\/edtechuvic.ca\/edci339\/about\/course-learning-outcomes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">course learning outcomes<\/a> 2 and 3. In this reading, Wiley &amp; Hilton (2018) explore the idea of a concept called OER-Enabled Pedagogy. OER stands for &#8220;Open Educational Resource&#8221;. The article contains a four part test to determine if a teaching and learning practice qualifies as OER-enabled pedagogy. <strong>In your post this week<\/strong>, I encourage you to examine this four-part test. <em>What do you think of the test? Do you have examples from your education that would pass all four parts? If you are planning to become a teacher, will you aim to design tasks that pass all four parts? Why or why not?\u00a0<\/em>At the end of the article, there are suggestions for further research in this area. <em>Do any of the proposed research questions catch your attention? Do you have a hypothesis as to what the findings would be? Explain.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Concluding Thoughts<\/h5>\n<p>As we finish EDCI 339, it is worth thinking about where we started and where we are now.<\/p>\n<p>We began the course with a very typical closed model of distributed learning using Brightspace, some articles to read, a discussion post, and a quiz. Within a few days, though, we moved the course content and interactions out of Brightspace and into WordPress, an open platform where your work is a contribution to the wider open community, rather than a post with a primary audience of one person.<\/p>\n<p>You organized into learning pods knowing that in a course this short (only four weeks), there is no good way for you to interact with each other if it is a whole group conversation. There is no way to follow the posts of 40 other learners and also do the work of making sense of it all for your context. Furthermore, there is no good way for me to provide meaningful feedback to each one of you. I really appreciate the work you&#8217;ve done as learning pods to move forward one another&#8217;s learning.<\/p>\n<p>It may have felt a bit isolated in this asynchronous environment, but the course is structured to reduce the isolation through the learning pods and opening up the course to the web, where there is a vibrant and rich community of people at all stages of their journey with open learning. I trust that your learning pods were a microcosm of that larger open education community.\u00a0I&#8217;m grateful for all of your work.<\/p>\n<h5>Continuing to Engage in Open Learning<\/h5>\n<p>The conversations that have been had in this course are happening on the web all around us. One common place to discuss open learning is on Twitter. As this course wraps up, you could consider joining or lurking on the conversation on Twitter. Here are some relevant hashtags you could follow and\/or contribute to. Note that you don&#8217;t need a Twitter account to view tweets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23bcedchat&amp;src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#bcedchat<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SaskEdChat?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#saskedchat<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#edci339<\/li>\n<li>#edtechuvic<\/li>\n<li>#tiegrad<\/li>\n<li>#openped<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/opened?src=hashtag_click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#opened<\/a><\/li>\n<li>#OER<\/li>\n<li>#FemEdTech<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of these communities have scheduled Twitter chats, such as #saskedchat each Thursday evening at 8pm CST. That is when most activity on the hashtag occurs, but other tweets happen in-between events.<\/p>\n<p>If you do take time to browse these resources, you may want to consider these questions as they relate to our course:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"fa fas fa-question\"><\/i>Whose voices are amplified?<\/li>\n<li>Whose voices are suppressed?<\/li>\n<li>What is being shared (articles, links, conversations&#8230;)?<\/li>\n<li>How does an &#8216;open&#8217; platform like Twitter help learners and educators?
