Students as Creators - Pressbook Enabled Assignments as Open Pedagogy
Open pedagogy applies the principles of openness to teaching and learning, giving students greater control and agency in their own education as well as aligning their work with the academic mission of the University. It combines strategies and technologies that support collaboration, co-creation, and shared knowledge. There are many tools that support open pedagogical practices and Pressbooks, an open text publishing tool, is one that supports students as creators of knowledge.
This session will explore practical approaches to using Pressbooks for open assignment and will include:
- Guidance on development of course assignments, including skillsets needed by students to engage in publishing
- Examples of course assignments and published works by UBC students
