Topic 4 The thoughts of the “open pedagogy” resources

After reading the “International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning”,  I think Daniel’s definition of “open pedagogy” is very precise, “that treats the student as an intellectual equal”

As the internet continues to grow, “open pedagogy” and a student-centred approach are finally realized. Most people think it is more appropriate to define open pedagogy as a broad range of attributes from participatory technology to innovation and creativity.  The “open pedagogy” is also inseparable from open educational resources, such as open educational resources, videos, and podcasts. However, the link between OER and open teaching method also has shortcomings. Simply showing OER to children is not a good teaching method.

Of course, when people use these open resources, copyright has also become a headache, so we made a five-point usage specification: preserve, modify, remix, redistribute, but from my point view, I think there should be one more: “update”, from my experience, people are using the same resourse year by year, which there are many information are already out dated, we should also check the information on those online resourses to make sure our students are at the front of the knowledge.

Hence, I really like the idea the author was thinking, which is propose a new term : “OER-enabled pedagogy”. Education should be a basic human right, and online open learning enables people who cannot afford high tuition/textbook fees to have the power to learn.
