Within the practices of using open educational resources (OER) the term open pedagogy has a wide variety of definitions. As a result, the term OER-enabled pedagogy was proposed to explain more specifically "the set of teaching and learning practices that are only possible or practical in the context of the 5R permissions which are characteristic of OER" (Wiley & Hilton, 2018). The five R's are retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute. Applying the first four of the five R's to student assignments means students must be actively engaged in the construction of what they create. Applying the fifth R (redistribute) provides students with the importance of creating something for a wider-audience and a product that survives beyond the confines of a college semester, and that can continually serve the greater public.
This presentation has two objectives. First, we will define and explain OER-enabled pedagogy. Second, we will present various assignment examples of OER-enabled pedagogy created by college students (none of which involve creating/editing wikipedia pages). Student examples will highlight how OER-enabled pedagogy affords students the ability to remix OER using their native language and incorporate cherished cultural inspirations.
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
- Apply OER-enabled pedagogy to student assignments
- Explore various examples of OER-enabled pedagogy
- Discover student-created examples of OER-enabled assignments
