Registration is open for the Library Juice Academy asynchronous course “Open Pedagogy and Information Literacy”. It will take place online from Monday, September 1, to Sunday, September 28. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
This course introduces open pedagogy as a practice for library instruction and outreach. Open pedagogy, also called OER-enabled pedagogy, is a method of designing learning experiences that empowers students to be co-creators of course materials rather than just consumers of information. It can offer students an opportunity to share their own stories, perspectives, and ways of knowing while also revising OER and sharing new work. Open pedagogy acknowledges that resources alone won’t make learning more inclusive. Instead, it encourages educators to use OER to enable students to find belonging alongside shaping broader curricular discourse.
Open pedagogy often requires students to practice significant information literacy skills as they revise openly licensed materials. This course explores how librarians may incorporate open pedagogy into information literacy instruction. Faculty, too, must be prepared to discuss intellectual property with students and use appropriate publishing technologies. We will also consider how to support disciplinary faculty in developing open pedagogy assignments. Through readings, discussions, open pedagogy, and a project of your choice, you will increase your efficacy at enabling OER adoptions with the express purpose of transforming learning. This course is designed to be flexible to include learners across a wide range of prior experience and goals for exploring open pedagogy.
This course is worth 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs. The cost is $250.00.
