openness in learning, teaching, & instructional design-june 2014(i)
DESCRIPTION
Open education today can be described as iterations of social and technological innovations that reduce barriers to access, and create multiple opportunities for educational practice. This session: a) reviews how the historical origins of openness have played out in the current technological context in terms of learning, teaching, content development, and the design of online environments; and b) consider examples and ways in which educators in traditional institutional settings can think about exploring openness in their own practice as a response to the significant global shifts occurring outside of the academy.TRANSCRIPT
