than they worry about
paying for college.
• Textbook costs have
risen 812% since 1978.
• $1,200 is equal to 12% of
tuition at my university.

17. Open Pedagogy
• Improves access to education.
• Treats education as a learner-driven
process.
• Stresses community and
collaboration over content.
• Connects the university to the wider
public.
18. Access
• Save money on
textbooks, ok
• But what other
barriers exist
to access?
• Digital divide
• Universal
design
• Trolling,
violence

26. What Will the
Digital Age
Enable?
Technology allows for
efficient worldwide
dissemination of research
and scholarship. But
closed distribution models
can get in the way. Open
access helps to fulfill the
promise of the digital age.

We Can Do It!
“We can be confident that OA journals are economically
sustainable because the true costs of peer review,
manuscript preparation, and OA dissemination are
considerably lower than the prices we currently pay for
subscription-based journals. There's more than enough
money already committed to the journal-support system.
Moreover, as OA spreads, libraries will realize large
savings from the conversion, cancellation, or demise of
non-OA journals.”
~Peter Suber
32. My evening
• Barriers to open
• Contingent labor and OER
• Privilege and dominance in
open spaces
• Screenshotting tweets
• Embedding tweets
• Exploiting tweeters
• Slideshares and articles
• Conferences
• Skype dates
• Plans for meetups
• Sharing faculty observation
protocols
• Not
• Making
• Powerpoint
33. OPEN (un)bound(ing)
• Challenge barriers to access.
Be honest and critical.
• Center learners. Be radical
and real.
• Facilitate connection. Be a
sticky node, not a gate.
• Share research. Be generous
and just.

I can show you how to choose a license
CC ND is not OER
Could be an OpenStax book or public docs or whatever
Content doubling every 13 months
Gardner – personal cyberinfrastructure, tied to students not courses, lose the LMS
Andrew- complexity of fac/student power
Audrey- who is data for?
Not the LMS, not a template, control to the student
So we save students money while increasing access and value;
So we transform our teaching using a critical, open pedagogy;
Now what does this mean to us as SCHOLARS?
