Adapted open content is challenging the way we think about higher education and the impact on pedagogy. Course content creation is central to this movement spurring innovative strategies to empower students as creators. But what should students know about authoring content designed for open education? Seasoned-pros and new-to-the-profession participants will find the answer in this highly relevant “train-the-trainer” session. Participants will explore how open content impacts pedagogy with particular attention to the Social Justice Framework, disposable to renewable assignments, and privacy considerations with openness. Participants will also be introduced to how Creative Commons Licenses (CCL) may be applied to open content, learning firsthand the benefits to reevaluate any apprehension they may have. They will also be able to extract new and creative applications of these concepts for use in their own instructional activities to empower students as creators of their own learning.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Identify how adapted open course content impacts pedagogy.
- Apply CCLs to open content.
- Extract new and creative applications of CCL concepts for use in their own instructional setting.
- Have an open and freely licensed CCL activity template that they may implement in their own instructional setting.
