Events and Workshops

Sept 7

1-1:30pm

The world of open education can be difficult to navigate, especially because it deals with difficult concepts involving copyright and licensing. The word 'open' gets applied liberally, and sometimes inappropriately, in many areas of education which further muddies the waters. A solid foundational knowledge of what open education is and how it works can help guide us through.

Join us for:
- What is open education
- What are the principles that guide this work
- How to engage in open education

Come learn about open education, why it's important, and the positive impact we can have on students!

Sept 13

1-2pm

KPU encourages faculty to teach their courses using resources that are free for students. This can be done through the use of Open Educational Resources (OERs), by using KPU Library resources, or by using content freely found online.  There is so much available and valid concerns about quality. Finding relevant and good quality OERs takes time, effort, and strategy, and KPU Library is able to help you get started with resources to guide your search and tips on how to navigate OER spaces.

Join us for:
- How to search for OERs
- What KPU Library resources are available
- What resources you can access to help your search

Come learn about searching for OER, linking KPU Library resources, and get hands on help searching for materials!

The term "open pedagogy" gets used a lot, but what does it actually mean? At its core, open pedagogy is about engaging students as creators of information rather than passively receiving information. While there are a few established methods for this, you may find that practices you already engage in are actually a part of open pedagogy.

Join us for:
- What is open pedagogy
- The principles that guide this work
- How to engage in open pedagogy

Come learn about open pedagogy, why it's important, and the positive impact we can have on students!
