Open Pedagogy: Home

Overview of Open Pedagogy

Open Pedagogy reimagines education as a collaborative and equitable process, empowering students as active participants in the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Rooted in principles of social justice and critical theory, it challenges traditional power structures and systemic barriers that marginalize learners, while leveraging Open Educational Resources (OER) and participatory practices to center inclusivity and student agency. The platforms that support open pedagogy are both tools and sites of critique, requiring careful attention to issues of consent, privacy, and student control over their work. By centering student voices and connecting academic work to broader societal impacts, open pedagogy creates spaces for equitable, meaningful, and socially engaged learning that empowers all participants.
