[Open-education] [cc-openedu] Students and Open Education

Wed Nov 22 21:23:22 UTC 2017

This is a fascinating thread.
Verena, your notes above hit close to home for us. We have just written and
are launching a new introductory grad course to our Masters of Health
Studies program where students are required to engage in open educational
practices. This open learning approach will be built throughout the
program. In the first course they create an ePortfolio (using a tool of
their choice) and they begin blogging and establishing a professional
digital identify. They will also learn about digital literacy through
course activities and practice using social media tools to leverage the
expertise of learning networks within and outside of the course.
