Sneakers or Boots: Exploring Open Education Perspectives [ID 27]
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” - Dr. Seuss, Oh the Places You’ll Go
Embark on a journey through the world of Open Education (OE) where your viewpoint shapes your path. This interactive session invites participants to walk a mile in the shoes of OE stakeholders and navigate through a series of scenarios, challenges, and plot twists. Through role-play and collaborative problem-solving, participants will gain insights into the diverse perspectives within the OE community and explore the impact of their roles on the collective journey. Each participant will be assigned a character and presented with a scenario that reflects real-world challenges and opportunities in the OE ecosystem including faculty/instructors, librarians, administrators, and more.
Through guided prompts and discussions, participants will reflect on the implications of their actions, both individually and collectively, and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in the adoption and implementation of Open Educational Practices.
Learning Outcomes:
Explore different viewpoints within the OE community and understand the complexity faced by stakeholders.
Identify strategies for overcoming challenges and fostering collaboration in OE initiatives.
Reflect on personal biases towards OE stakeholders to be better equipped to navigate challenges and build partnerships.
