Open Education Practices in Indigenous Ecosystems
“Open Educational Practices” are designed to broaden access and eliminate barriers to learning. They include the creation and adoption of open educational resources, open course development, and open pedagogy. This presentation will make a case for why the move away from traditional (closed) practices is not only desirable but inevitable and how students, faculty, institutions, and our communities all stand to benefit greatly from this transformation.
