For this response I have focused on Bruce’s post on Open Pedagogy.
Hi Bruce! I appreciated your in-depth exploration of Open Pedagogy and Open Educational Resources (OER) and how they reshape traditional learning frameworks. Your point about OER being adaptable to students’ diverse cultural contexts is powerful—making education inclusive and representative is essential, especially in today’s interconnected world. Beyond cultural inclusion, I think OER also fosters critical thinking, as students can contribute to or even co-create educational content, which empowers them to become active participants in their learning process. Additionally, as you noted, OER offers long-term accessibility that benefits lifelong learners. I’m curious, though—have you seen any challenges related to resource quality or accessibility in OER materials? I’d love to hear your thoughts on balancing inclusivity with maintaining rigorous academic standards.
