- 34. Open is Yum Anexcellent candidate for sloganizing is the word ‘open’. Immediately one uses it, the options polarize. To be open … is to be not closed, restricted, prejudiced or clogged; but free, candid, generous, above board, mentally flexible, future-oriented, etc. The opposite does not bear thinking about, and there can be no third alternative. ‘Open’ is yum. -- Hill, 1975

First, students are encouraged with extra credit to release their own photos with a Creative Commons license. This involves creating their own account on a photo sharing site like Flickr, uploading their photos, and applying the Creative Commons license. These photos are then evaluated and the strongest photos of a particular concept are selected to be added to the course as examples. Many students have taken advantage of this opportunity since the course was first offered in 2011-2012. Second, at certain points in the course where students have struggled in the past, all students are given the opportunity to raise their grade if they create a tutorial video for a particular assignment. These tutorial videos are evaluated and a few of these are selected to be placed into the course. Approximately five students each year take advantage of this additional opportunity. Finally, after demonstrating high levels of mastery, strong students are offered the opportunity to be a teaching assistant for the upcoming semester. These students create notes for each unit, study guides for exams, tutorial videos, and review presentations and games that are all added to the course and released as OER. For all materials created by teaching assistants the instructor thoroughly vets the material, edits for formatting and quality, and then implements the OER in the course. As future teaching assistants work with the instructor, they revise and remix material that was created by prior teaching assistants.

Right now it is a Google document, but there will be a WordPress version available sometime this summer. The link is below.

The following count as exhibiting respect for the student : (a) the student is granted considerable freedom; he/ she is, for the most part, autonomous, (b) the student’s interests and ideas are considered to be important and he/ she receives individual instruction and guidance based on his/ her interests, (c) there is considerable interaction between teacher and student; they are considered to be equal in some sense, (d) students are rarely commanded; uses of authority are minimized, (e) students’ feelings are to be taken seriously.
- #34 Self-Directed learning: https://uwaterloo.ca/centre-for-teaching-excellence/teaching-resources/teaching-tips/tips-students/self-directed-learning/self-directed-learning-four-step-process “this Teaching Tip outlines key components of four key stages to independent learning, known as self-directed learning: being ready to learn, setting learning goals, engaging in the learning process, and evaluating learning.” See also: https://www.bpastudies.org/bpastudies/article/view/38/78 “When an individual or group decides that they want to learn certain information, knowledge or skill, they often seek the help of a teacher or professional instructor to tell them how to proceed and to supervise the learning process. However, another alternative for an individual is to assume the primary responsibility for planning, initiating, and conducting the learning project. Such behavior can be called either self‑instruction, self‑education, independent study, individual study self‑teaching, or self-directed learning.” Connected learning: https://clalliance.org/why-connected-learning/ Connected learning is when someone is pursuing a personal interest with the support of peers, mentors and caring adults, and in ways that open up opportunities for them. … Young people learn best when actively engaged, creating, and solving problems they care about, and supported by peers who appreciate and recognize their accomplishments. While connected learning is not new, and does not require technology, new digital and networked technologies expand opportunities to make connected learning accessible to all young people. The “connected” in connected learning is about human connection as well as tapping the power of connected technologies. Student as producer: http://studentasproducer.lincoln.ac.uk/project-proposal/ Students as partners: https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/individuals/strategic-priorities/student-engagement “Higher Education Academy regards partnership as a relationship in which all involved are actively engaged in and stand to gain from the process of learning and working together. It is distinct from listening to, or consulting with, students.” Also: https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/system/files/resources/engagement_through_partnership.pdf Partnership is framed as a process of student engagement, understood as staff and students learning and working together to foster engaged student learning and engaging learning and teaching enhancement. In this sense partnership is a relationship in which all participants are actively engaged in and stand to gain from the process of learning and working together. Areas of partnership: learning, teaching, & assessment; subject-based research; Scholarship of Teaching & Learning; curriculum design and pedagogic consultancy
