This document discusses open pedagogies and practices that can transform learning. It notes that only 29% of faculty are aware of open educational resources (OER) which provide free and openly licensed textbooks and materials. OER have been shown to improve student performance compared to traditional textbooks. The document advocates increasing access not just to knowledge, but to knowledge creation through practices like open pedagogy where students publicly share work and have ownership over their learning. It questions who should build new architectures for learning and what those architectures might look like. Overall, the document promotes open practices and OER to improve educational access and student outcomes.

Who should build them?

32. Domain of One’s Own
• drag ’n drop → design
• consumer → creator
• data mining → data control
• audience of 1 → public impact
• broadcast web→ synergic web
• course’s work→ student’s work
• ePortfolio → ePort

33. IDS taught me to be responsible for my learning and growth. You
learn to expand your returns. We do not post our “homework”
to a hidden, school controlled website. We share our work for all
of the world to see. This idea of owning your own domain allows
you to be confident in your work and take responsibility for
what you are learning, how you make connections in the world,
and how you share your knowledge. To me, this style of learning
and sharing is a good idea for Interdisciplinary Studies and all
other majors. Academic settings need to work on sharing each
other’s work, and being engaged in the world outside of
classroom walls.

the digital divide
are real and insidious.
Open is not
the opposite of private.
EdTech is
selling something.
Open is
a process,
not a panacea.
