2024 Open Education Conference

Academic librarians are increasingly leading efforts to encourage and support open pedagogy practices with undergraduate students. Given the 1-to-many support model for open pedagogy at most libraries, long-term sustainability of these efforts requires intentional collaboration with colleagues who bring unique experiences and expertise. At the University of Houston, a need for new, asynchronous learning objects emerged, along with an opportunity to leverage expertise from across the Libraries. This poster will describe our collaborative process for developing learning objects that support open pedagogy assignments and the benefits of peer learning between the Open Education and Teaching & Learning departments.

Attendees of this session will be able to:

• Describe a collaborative process for developing learning objects that support open pedagogy assignments\n
• Recognize the importance of interdependence and sustainability in programmatic open pedagogy efforts \n
• Identify opportunities for cross-functional peer learning and experience sharing to enhance open pedagogy efforts
