OEP@TWU Conference | 2022

 

The TWU Open Pedagogy Community held our first Open Educational Practices Conference on April 20 - 21, 2022, featuring Keynote Speaker, author and librarian Jessie Loyer. The conference featured conversations about Open Educational Practices (OEP), including Open Educational Resources (OER) and other relevant topics. OEP create learner-driven educational environments involving students co-writing course sections, such as assignments, schedules, rubrics, and policies. OEP might also include students writing or editing Wikipedia articles or developing video clips to share on YouTube. Students can participate in these public scholarship activities with instructor support.
