Open practice, critical pedagogy and open resourcesWe are thrilled to welcome Doctor Sadia Habib back to the unit this year. Sadia is a Lecturer in Education at the Manchester Institute of Education, as well as the young people’s programme coordinator at the Manchester Museum. She has much experience in incorporating open practices and open/critical pedagogies in her work, and through this has led many novel projects with aspects of openness, including supporting young people to create blogs and zines — which she argues can be open resources.Sadia took OKHE in 2023/4 and wrote about some of her experience in her OKHE1 and OKHE2 posts. If you are attending our scheduled session, you will hear from Sadia. If you will not attend, we recommend you read her blog posts, and we will share a summary of her talk afterwards with PGCertHE participants.Sadia has also recently published Activism in the arts: Co-researching cultural inequalities with young people during the COVID-19 pandemic (open access and CC BY licensed).Please submit any questions for Sadia below. Comments are public and anonymous; please don’t share personal information.Add a comment (public, anonymous) above. If it doesn’t work, load it separately or comment on this post.We hope that by hearing from Sadia, you will see some ways in which openness intersects with her role/work, which may not be areas you had considered before. We hope too that this helps you to consider how openness intersects/could intersect with your work/role/practice.

David Wiley provides one framing of openness in education. a) Why might it be useful for individuals and institutions in higher education? b) Are there any aspects of effective education that the 5R’s don’t address? Comment in the second box below.💬 Contribute: Where does your practice fit with the Rs?Please share examples below of where any of your recent practice fits with any of the 5Rs. All comments are anonymous, don’t share personal info.Add a comment (public, anonymous) above. If it doesn’t work, load it separately or comment on this post.💬 Contribute: What’s good and what’s missing from the Rs?Please comment on why Wiley’s 5Rs might be useful for individuals and institutions in HE, and any aspects of effective education that the 5Rs don’t address.

If you only have time for one thing, read Sadia Habib’s OKHE2 blog post: Open practice, critical pedagogy and zine making. Sadia discusses open principles for critical pedagogy, with a strong focus on social justice and inclusion of underrepresented voices. She also highlights the importance of collaborating with learners to create OERs. You might also find Sadia’s OKHE1 post interesting: Decolonising Education with Open Resources on Identity and Heritage.

Openness at a publisher 📚Publishing is of fundamental importance in many aspects of openness, and in one way, to publish is to make something open. However, when we look below the surface, we see that it’s not quite so simple. What does it mean, therefore, to “make things open” as a publisher?In the session, we will hear from Emma Brennan, Editorial Director at Manchester University Press (MUP). Drawing on experience at one of the key players in the open publishing movement, Emma will share her insights and experience of the practicalities of openness at MUP. After the session, we will add a summary of the discussion here; in the meantime, read about MUP’s Open Access (OA) books and OA journals.Please submit any questions for Emma below. Comments are public and anonymous; please don’t share personal information.What questions do you have about openness at MUP?

Thinking about how openness intersects with you, or your role/work, or how you might want it to, do you face any challenges?

If not, you can read others’ comments and add yours later.

Look back at the list above — your suggestions and others’. Find one idea for which you can answer the following:“What am I currently doing that in any way resembles one of these ideas?”Below, summarise the idea and one activity/process which you are part of, which contributes to/reinforces the idea in any way, however small. Repeat for more ideas.

what might need to be balanced for this to be sustainable in an institution like ours?

We recommend you access at least one of the recommended resources, then — if you are taking the PGCertHE at Manchester — attend the scheduled session online or in person, and/or work through the rest of this post in your own time.
