On February 10, Rajiv Jhangiani, associate vice provost of Open Education at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) shared his insights on the topic of open educational practices (OEP) as a transformational force in higher education. OEPs encompass the creation, adaption and adoption of open educational resources, as well as a range of open pedagogies through which students are empowered as co-creators of knowledge. Through a diverse set of examples, Jhangiani makes the case for why the shift away from traditional — closed — practices is not only desirable but also inevitable, and how embracing OEPs supports both social justice and pedagogical innovation.
This event was free and open to the public. It was live-streamed at the Loyola Jesuit Hall and Conference Centre’s Salon O’Brien Family room (RF-120). After the talk, attendees were able to take part in the question and answer session remotely and in real time.
