    1. page

      Thinking about expressive poetry as a kind of personal attendant, a "page" that is created, in this case to carry out the instructor's wishes.

    1. UNESCO’s canonical definition of OER does not require “free public access” to a resource for that resource to be an OER

      Here's an excerpt from the UNESCO recommendation that I really like: "Inclusive and equitable access to quality OER: OER are shared online and offline, in editable formats, on platforms that make them easy to find, use, adapt and share"

    1. Rubric

      This is very cool work Nate! Thank you for thinking through this and sharing it :-)

    2. explore

      Feels like you are hitting on a meta-cognitive aspect here. Worth noting this explicitly?

    3. value

      Drawing on this article by Seraphin et al. (2018), I look at renewable work along several dimensions, including a larger audience (beyond the instructor/students), longer life (beyond the course/semester), and greater impact (outside of training & student learning). See: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1475725718811711

    4. practice

      I like how you included "training" in the Emerging category because so much of open pedagogy necessitates the development of new skills (which may then be practiced and applied). Wondering therefore about whether the training bit should stay across the Developing and Transforming categories?

    6. OER are still not commonly known in institutions and governments.

      This has changed a lot. 90% of BC institutions now adopt open textbooks. Awareness has grown across the country, with many institutions, from Yukon College to UPEI supporting OER adoption. Many institutions now have cross-functional OER working groups.

    1. pilotprojects

      I love the idea of these innovation pilots. I am especially interested in looking at the role that Open Pedagogy can play in OERu courses. If we design some elements within our courses that enable students to help shape, update, and otherwise improve the courses, this could be a very innovative and efficient way to support the continual update process.

    1. Open Pedagogy

      In the year and half that have passed since the publication of this book, many new resources have been created to support educators who wish to embrace open pedagogy. These include the Open Pedagogy Notebook and A Guide to Making Open Textbooks with Students. Open Pedagogy also features among the 10 key directions highlighted in CPT+10, the 10th anniversary of the Cape Town Open Education Declaration.

    1. A digital assignment can live on

      As all assignments should. See for example the work on "disposable assignments"

    2. deficit

      When I work with "campus" faculty, the use of online as a mode (even in part) is often associated with innovation.

    3. learning

      This is critical. The potential of online learning to help overcome some barriers can be completed negated if we ignore UDL, for example.
