The principles of “Open Pedagogy” can be leveraged to engage students as the creators of knowledge rather than passive consumers of it. In this paradigm, students demonstrate their mastery of learning objectives through the authoring of “sustainable” assignments geared toward audiences outside of the classroom.
The idea of the Open Pedagogy is an interesting one in the fact that rather than just showing you the definition and having you absorb the information and nothing else, it encourages the student to engage with it and write things in their own creative and interesting ways rather than the way a lot of institutions intend for it to be read. This gets me excited to put this into action with future assignments.
One question I have with the Open Pedagogy is how exactly would we be able to properly document all of these new ideas students present with this method? cause I would definitely like to see the different ideas and outlooks documented in one place
