QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

Shif@GettinShifDone has last asynchronous word from Feb 2 discussion.
I’ll end my contributions by sharing a resource I am intrigued by for the grand mission of empathetic communication! pz.harvard.edu/who-we-are/abo… #aboerjc It was lovely catching up with your thoughts, folks! G’night!

That internal work is so core to successful OEP, and there it is so much better to be told that you can help create a solution rather than be told you are wrong and there is only one ‘right’ answer. OEP bridges reconciliation, social justice, with building skills /6 #aboerjc
Show this threadShif @GettinShifDoneFeb 2
Thoughts on exp learning, OEP, & safe vs. brave space were covered by others, but I will reiterate that educators/facilitators have to run thru it first & recognize their own biases & limitations before attempting it w/ others – be ok with not knowing, saying so. /5 #aboerjc

I digress a tad because it’s important to also recognize the subconscious benefits of “finding purpose” – these distractions are overcome more easily if there’s a compelling enough reason to command our full attention. It’s also an excellent CBT tool. /4 #aboerjc

I am seeing this play out in my daily interactions w/ others, & know that it is somewhat due to the isolating nature of the pandemic. Every conversation feels like a test, & that I’m always going to fail if I don’t beeline toward the outcome. /2 #aboerjc

Wasn’t able to join in real-time, but had a chance to read through this piece after! There are SO MANY note-worthy resources in here, and they have value beyond students and educators. It is increasingly difficult to empathize with each other these days /1 #aboerjcMichelle Brailey @TheMichMonster

#aboerjc So many gifted practitioners out there. Twitter chats gives us all opportunity to co-create knowledge. Perhaps folks in different time zones can offer ideas and discuss post-chat. We wait a few days to archive @Bali_Maha @SarahLambertOz @CherylHWMichelle Brailey @TheMichMonster
#aboerjc because we are a small group tonight, I thought I would post these last qu’s together. 3) Is there anything missing from this dialogue? 4) What are your hopes for students in this difficult time? If you are tuning in late, here is the article edutopia.org/article/studen…
Rosemarri Klamn, MAPC, CPHR she/her/hers @KlamnJamFeb 2
#aboerjc I see similarities between creating these safe spaces, OEP, and action research. Friere’s thematic investigation (1970) authentic reflection, facilitated, building trust, and co-creating knowledge. @TheMichMonster @DocBlom @verenanzDr. Verena Roberts @verenanz
These are the quotes to describe “safe learning spaces” (as a result of OEP and experiential learning) from my research: docs.google.com/document/d/1WR… #Aboerjc I heard similar ideas in the article….
Erik Christiansen @egchristiansenFeb 2Replying to @TheMichMonster
I think sometimes safe spaces are conflated with private spaces. The former can make it hard to raise critical/controversial questions, where the latter creates a private environment for people to ‘think out loud’ respectfully #aboerjc
Dr. Verena Roberts @verenanzFeb 2
Students repond to learning that they feel a part of. Not just inclusive, but their learning that looks like their dreams, connects to their passions & interests, is relevant, timely & meaningful. I firmly believe open learning provides these authentic experiences. #aboerjcMichelle Brailey @TheMichMonster

In my experience, undergrad programs do a good job of promoting critical thinking skills in a social context. Those conversations tend to be high level/general. Integrating this with critical thinking in a ‘puzzle context’ (dev real world solutions) is a big challenge #aboerjc

This is tangentially related to the article. I always encourage students to apply ideas/concepts to the real world for their future practice. Kind of like civics class in high school #aboerjc

@DocBlom Welcome! Good to see you! You read my mind. My next question was going to be about bringing this towards open practices #aboerjc
Rosemarri Klamn, MAPC, CPHR she/her/hers @KlamnJamFeb 2
#aboerjc A2. I am a researcher/advocate. I am in awe of practitioners like @verenanz @DocBlom @egchristiansen and others who curate and work directly w/ teachers / librarians who influence educators and learners. #EducatorslAsLearnersMichelle Brailey @TheMichMonster
#aboerjc @verenanz @KlamnJam @egchristiansen , I think it is just us and you are all experienced teachers. Are there any practices you already use in classes or you have experienced that you valued? I bet others will be interested in your experiences!
Dr. Constance Blomgren @DocBlomFeb 2Replying to @TheMichMonster
I too liked the idea of students being involved and connected to the “real world”. Open practices encourage students of all ages to know and understand how the may influence their corner of the world. #aboerjc

3) Is there anything missing from this dialogue?
4) What are your hopes for students in this difficult time?

(A bit late to the party, but here goes)
A1: No official support per se, but Lib, T&L, and ICT all indirectly play a huge role in “supporting” OER institutionally. Then again, it is mostly just pockets of “doers” that are finding ways to support their own OER #aboerjc
David Porter @dendroglyph

Agree. Funding does not have to be specific to #OER but it would be nice to see it as a categoryfor scholarly teaching grants. #ABOERJC

There are quite a few great advocates at #MRU right now trying to garner institutional support; then COVID happened. The work continues, but perhaps I won’t benefit directly. That’s the way it goes sometimes! #aboerjc

A2: yes! There was a push at our institute to use some common core OER for trades. This came from faculty though. This goes back to @dendroglyph mentioning getting a dean and t and l centres on board as well. #aboerjc

At AU there are pockets of open educators but formal support for #OER and #oep is not as focused as places such as Kwantlen. #aboerjc is a means to provide some support for Alberta #OER.

When it works … the open co-design process feels like what is often referred to as facilitation, but really means being an advocate or wing person – and the development of a PLN leads to indefinite support … #aboerjc

A4: My #OE story began with having access to open technological tools to add UDL elements to courses (engagement, representation, and action/expression). #aboerjc An affordable means to expand my practice.Sarah Hammershaimb @S_Hammershaimb

Dr. Verena Roberts @verenanzNov 3Replying to @S_Hammershaimb
A5: I had to figure out how to contextualize OEP. I spent hours on my open learning design for my course, which uses OEP, BUT I decided the activity learning space also has to be open (open pressbook, or blog, or other open constructivist learning activity. #aboerjc

#ABOERJC I feel like that’s an effort to try to challenge perceptions of OER as poor quality. ‘Looking’ like a traditional textbook may make people more comfortable because it will align with expectations about what teaching materials ‘should’ look like

I can certainly relate to that feeling. Do you think we in Canada lag behind other countries or pockets of innovation when it comes to #OER and #OEP uptake? If we’re the laggards, who are the leaders?

From an educator perspective, I’d say that my #Library #InformationLiteracy instruction falls largely under andragogy or heutagogy – with more of a move toward the latter in DE. Often, providing resources so learners can ‘explore’ is all that’s necessary #aboerjc

That’s an interesting take. Do you think certain types of individuals are ‘generally’ more likely to pursue DE/ODL? I’ve often wondered this myself and if there are personality differences and learning style differences #aboerjc

Erik Christiansen @egchristiansenOct 6Replying to @DocBlom @Cambrian_Jess and 3 others
It does if we define engagement as the activities created and facilitated by the instructor. I suppose a counter argument could be to argue that at the highest stage, autonomous learners (mature learners) engage themselves. Perhaps I misunderstand the author’s argument

A1: The three concepts demonstrate a shift in how learning/teaching has evolved from teacher-centric to student-centric, similar to the evolution of DE and ODL (open learning removes barriers). #aboerjcDr. Constance Blomgren @DocBlomReplying to @DocBlom
I have 6 questions so let’s start! Q1. We will talk about the second half ( pp. 261 – 273) as it relates to open and distance learning (ODL). Bozkurt discusses pedagogy, andragogy, and heutagogy on page 264. How do these 3 influence your understanding of ODL?@verenanz
