Hi, Marco, very considerate thoughts on Open Pedagogy and the OER in how these resources both have the potential to change the face of education in your blog. Personal accounts, like the one about Hong Kong, really bear witness to the financial burden placed on students often enough with regard to textbooks. Quite a balanced consideration against accessibility and fairness is your argument for OER authors receiving compensation via other means. Also, being responsible enough to cite sources and give credit where due is indicative of your call for transparency. Inclusions of visuals and even embedding a UNESCO video add much value to the post to make it worth reading and learning from. Excellent!

Hi, Emma, your blog is impressive in construction and aesthetic; the balance of explanation and multimedia elements is spot on. The layout is clear and inviting, with readers being able to follow with ease through each topic, while the video and images support your key points about Open Pedagogy. I especially liked how you took more practical approaches to Creative Commons Licensing and gave clear examples of what that looks like in an ethical way of resource sharing. Moreover, your citations were thorough and well-placed; they helped add credibility to the discussion and provided academic rigor. Overall, not only is your blog informative but also truly exemplary for clarity and engagement in educational content creation.

Hi, Marsha, your blog brought clarity and gave great insight into Open Pedagogy and OER! I loved how you described this progression from an older, traditional approach to a more collaborative and flexible one with Open Pedagogy, whereby the students are actually able to participate in creating content. I think your example of Creative Commons Licensing in lesson planning is very practical and really shows your understanding of how one shares responsibly. That is an inspiring thing to hear about your experience in Hong Kong and with access to resources, though challenging to use technology sometimes. Well done in bringing inclusivity and collaboration into the fore as key aspects of Open Pedagogy!

Hi Hannah,

Great blog posting! Very much enjoyed the theorization of pedagogy as being more than just knowledge transmission, but rather, pedagogy forms a place where the presence of the students is active. On learning, what really amazed me was the following: “I learn better with visual graphics and hands-on activities.” Really widens one’s-sdkl understanding of things. And thank you for flagging your view on Slack and Discord with respect to networked learning. It’s great that technology can make collaboration easier, especially with busy schedules, and provide a sense of support.

I loved how you explained constructivism and then related it to online discussion forums; a very good example of how to translate the theory into practice. Shared learning by sharing and discussing really enhances understanding. Lastly, your thoughts regarding the role of the instructor in the online course were just so to the point; surely, timely feedback and effective communication do make the students feel less lost. Great job in connecting theory with real experiences, and quite relatable!

Hi Dana,

I enjoyed reading your blog. You explained pedagogy so well and how different interactive teaching methods have influenced you positively. I really agree that when the teachers provide some sort of engagement to the students, like asking questions and creating discussions, it really helps students retain the information more. Your thoughts about networked pedagogy are spot on; technology definitely fits, enabling us to connect with a wider range of people and collaborate in ways not possible before.

I liked your analysis of the Social Learning Theory, since you use YouTube videos included in watching as a part of your learning process. This is a very good example of how we can utilize online tools as a means of trying to imitate certain behaviors so that our comprehension is enhanced. Your experiences with online instructors at UVic also emphasized the problem of teachers knowing online tools, which always supports students in their performance.

Overall, I find your post to be very considerate and well-rounded, and you have touched on all the key points nicely.

Well done!

Jerry
