October 10 – 14th – SOCIAL ANNOTATION ACTIVITY

In the spirit of OER and Open Pedagogy, you and your assigned group (see below) will co-create an OER by annotating an article using Hypothes.is. A space has been created on Hypothes.is (Openness & Facilitation) to house our collaborative reading and idea generation, but also to keep this work student-centered and open.

October 14 – 15th – REFLECTION ACTIVITY

In an individual blog post, reflect on your learnings about OEP as it relates to your facilitation practice. Consider answering the questions below to guide your reflection. Then, post your reflection (max 150 words) to your MALAT blog under the LRNT 528 category.

What?
What is something that happened this week?
So what?
What does it mean in relation to openness and facilitation?
Now what?
What does it mean to you in your practice as a facilitator who may engage in some elements of openness?

Now, spread some love! Post a comment or question on your peers’ reflections.

October 15th –  NEXT STEPS (OPTIONAL)

Feeling inspired? Become a more open educator by taking a moment to set three development goals for yourself by answering the following questions:

  • What is one change you can make to your practice in the next 24 hours? The next week? The next month?

If you’d like to tweet your goals or extend the OEP conversation to a wider audience, please use the #RRUMALAT hashtag or simply save them to return to later.
