Applying open education

•Starting point: pedagogical teaching methods-Connecting different gradations of openness to pedagogy

Two approaches

•Connecting the 5R on what to achieve-Full potential of openness not always necessary

•Use some form of an open pedagogy-Adapted definition of (Hegarty, 2015)

Experiences (2)
