Just came back from Open Oregon State‘s Open Education Day and can’t wait to share with you all what I have learned from the meeting: open pedagogy. The keynote speaker for Open Education Day, Rajiv Jhangiani from the University of British Columbia (@ThatPsycProf), introduced open pedagogy as an instructional strategy to promote reusable assignments and turn students from consumers of content to creators of content.
Examples: a book produced by instructor and students from Brigham Young University (2012); a wiki resources of web 2.0 tools created by students from College of Education at Purdue University (2012); a book produced by instructor and students from the Master of Science in Education: Information Technology program at Western Oregon University (2013):
Examples of open pedagogy Jhangiani introduced:
LibrerTexts: Students-built knowledge base for Chemistry
When Wikipedia Is the Assignment, & WikiUniversity
Teach and Learn Psychology for free at NOBA 
Annotate Open source text to teach literature
free public domain images from rijks museum
The call is for instructors to design assignments that build problem solving skills, critical thinking skills and/or analytical writing skills in students and create assignments that live beyond the lifespan of a course and are useful to the general public, instead of creating assignments that only one instructor will view in order to give a grade.
Have fun design such creative assignments and feel free to share your life-long assignments with us.
