Professional Program in Open Education | Supporting Open Education (OPEN-9500)—Elective
One of our three options for elective courses includes Supporting Open Education. This course, developed by Amanda Larson (@maeverawr), provides learners with an overview of the different types and systems of support required for successful implementation of open education. Learners will examine different types of scaffolding required for learners to understand and succeed in open education environments. Different types and examples of faculty development programs and supports including instructional design and educational technology expertise will be explored, in both development and delivery of open pedagogy and open education programming. The role of librarians in supporting, advancing, and advocating for open educational resources and increased diversity of resources is discussed as a key part of an open education ecosystem.
This asynchronous, online course begins in April 2023.
