What is Open Pedagogy?
While traditional pedagogy engages students as the consumers of information, Open Pedagogy engages students as creators of information. Students create openly licensed products that go beyond the classroom and impact the community. Open Pedagogy is a high-impact practice empowering students to engage in creating information through renewable assignments.
