OpenEd20

Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations was recently published as a collection of OER case studies highlighting the collaborative work surrounding open educational initiatives. As the book’s release was announced, the editors realized the number of first-time authors, peer-reviewers, and copyeditors as these contributors celebrated their scholarly success through social media. Taking a look back, the presenters aim to highlight the stories of a few “first-timers,” addressing their motivations for getting involved (both in open pedagogy and in the book), the process of the work, and the potential impact that the book holds at their campuses and for their career trajectories.

Open Pedagogy Approaches, in itself, was the focus of a local professional development initiative, as a way to learn about and share models of open pedagogical practices while at the same time skilling up to know how to support future open educational ideas. The editors knew that the small editorial team was learning as they went, but did not realize that the high quality of the contributors’ work also included newcomers to open pedagogy who were also looking to develop their skills.

Panelists will include a sampling of authors, peer reviewers, and copyeditors, along with members of the editorial board.

Learning Outcomes:
Participants will:
- celebrate the exciting initiatives and professional development opportunities of emerging leaders in open education through their contributions in Open Pedagogy Approaches: Faculty, Library, and Student Collaborations
- identify the relationship between open publishing and broader venues to develop professional growth
- generate a working list of models, platforms, and tools to encourage open pedagogy practices
