Geomorphology Assignment
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This was an assignment for students in two parts:

(1) for a given week, students sign up for a landform that pertains to the processes we’ll be studying (e.g. landslides, streams, volcanoes, etc…). The student will use wikipedia, govt. agency websites, or primary sources to present a “show and tell” of the landform including 4 things:
a) describe the process by which that feature is formed,
b) give an example of where it can be found,
c) find 3 pictures of the landform, &
d) sketch (or find a depiction) of what the feature would look like on a topographic contour map.

(2) Students will take their presentations and use them to create pages on a Google Sites webpage that will become an online textbook. Students will be able to use the book to study for quizzes on the landforms.

(3) Students will read and leave comments on 2 other students’ pages to provide constructive feedback to help improve the textbook’s content and readability.

Learning Objectives: Students gain oral and written communication skills by presenting and documenting/sharing their research. Students will describe the shape of landforms and connect landforms with the processes responsible for their formation by learning from each other and from doing their own research.

How do we respond to generative AI in education? Open educational practices give us a framework for an ongoing process
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

With the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the field of higher education rapidly became aware that generative AI can complete or assist in many of the kinds of tasks traditionally used for assessment. This has come as a shock, on the heels of the shock of the pandemic. How should assessment practices change? Should we teach about generative AI or use it pedagogically? If so, how? Here, we propose that a set of open educational practices, inspired by both the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement and digital collaboration practices popularized in the pandemic, can help educators cope and perhaps thrive in an era of rapidly evolving AI. These practices include turning toward online communities that cross institutional and disciplinary boundaries. Social media, listservs, groups, and public annotation can be spaces for educators to share early, rough ideas and practices and reflect on these as we explore emergent responses to AI. These communities can facilitate crowdsourced curation of articles and learning materials. Licensing such resources for reuse and adaptation allows us to build on what others have done and update resources. Collaborating with students allows emergent, student-centered, and student-guided approaches as we learn together about AI and contribute to societal discussions about its future. We suggest approaching all these modes of response to AI as provisional and subject to reflection and revision with respect to core values and educational philosophies. In this way, we can be quicker and more agile even as the technology continues to change.

We give examples of these practices from the Spring of 2023 and call for recognition of their value and for material support for them going forward. These open practices can help us collaborate across institutions, countries, and established power dynamics to enable a richer, more justly distributed emerging response to AI.

OER-Enabled Pedagogy

OER-Enabled Pedagogy is the set of teaching and learning practices only practical in the context of the 5R permissions characteristic of open educational resources. Some people – but not all – use the terms “open pedagogy” or “open educational practices” synonymously.

The purpose of this page is to provide a list of concrete examples of how OER-enabled pedagogy is implemented in the real world. We’ve kept our descriptions brief and, where possible, linked directly to the artifacts students have created or to articles that provide more information on what they did.

CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This fun "fortune teller" is intended to support Open Pedagogy trainings or groups activities. Colors are spelled out along the outside edge to facilitate easier use for those without access to a color printer.

The fortune teller was based on a template found at www.downloadablecootiecatchers.wordpress.com, and was inspired by the excellent OKP Learning Experience Bingo board by Nate Angell: http://xolotl.org/okp-learning-experience-bingo-2-0/

Activity instructions:
1. Select one ingredient from the OKP Learning Experience Bingo board (People, Places, Materials, etc).
2. Select a color and alternate opening one end of the device or another while spelling out the color.
3. Look at the choices of numbers that appear within the device and select one, spelling it out as you did the color.
4. From the available numbers on the open end of your fortune teller, select one and open its compartment to see which Dimension of Openness you have been assigned.
5. Brainstorm an activity or experience that exemplifies that Dimension and relates to your chosen Ingredient from the bingo board.
