Co-Create and Collaborate: Unlocking Student Potential Through Open Pedagogy

Co-Create and Collaborate: Unlocking Student Potential Through Open Pedagogy

Join us for an engaging webinar on embracing open pedagogy and co-creating curriculum with your students! This session explores the benefits of an open approach that empowers students as partners in the learning process. When students help shape course assignments and activities, they take greater ownership over their education. Discover ways to collaborate with students to design more authentic assessments, incorporate real-world projects, tap into their passions and skills, and explore the transformative impact of student partnership on engagement and learning outcomes. Learn tips for guiding students through the process of co-creation, handling challenges that arise, and assessing open pedagogy initiatives. Whether you’re new to open practices or looking to take student partnership to the next level, you’ll leave inspired to invite your students to the table as collaborators. Bring their fresh perspectives into your teaching and watch engagement and learning outcomes improve!

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Explain the core principles of open pedagogy and list at least two benefits of co-creating curriculum with students.
• Describe at least three specific strategies for collaborating with students to design assessments, incorporate real-world projects, and tap into student skills and interests.
• Identify at least two potential challenges of co-creation and explain techniques for mitigating them.
