This session will describe renewable assignments and evaluate the benefits and challenges of implementing renewable assignments in teacher education by sharing my lived experiences and insights. I will show some examples of renewable assignments done in my class. Renewable assignments can be adapted, remixed, or revised to create dynamic, current content that evolves based on current student needs and contexts. Renewable assignments as open education practice may be appealing to innovative educators. However, hesitation and resistance exists among students. The question arises how can we have students; overcome this resistance to open sharing to cultivate disposition to contribute toward collective knowledge that is dynamic and ever changing due to sociopolitical, cultural, and technological changes? This presentation shares lessons learned from implementing renewable assignments in a teacher education course and the implications it has on cultivating open education practices.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Describe renewable assignments.
- Evaluate the benefits and challenges of implementing renewable assignments.
