The why of open pedagogy: a value-first conceptualization for enhancing instructor praxis - Smart Learning Environments
Theoretical evolution within the field of Open Pedagogy has progressed rapidly in recent years. Practical application, however, has lagged this conceptual development. This article seeks to explore the gap between theory and practice by examining how the use of terms within the open education space may create barriers for instructors new to the concept. The authors of this article argue that the most effective approach to creating momentum toward practices associated with Open Pedagogy is to begin with an alignment of an instructor’s values with the attributes of an open educator. Subject matter experts were consulted in the association of open pedagogical values with specific practices. The result is a visual aid useful for an instructor’s self-assessment or in collaboration with curriculum designers to identify a logical start point for an instructor as they begin their movement from a more traditional to an open approach.

PsychSessions: Conversations about Teaching N' Stuff: E202: June Gruber: Mental Health Expert, Happiness Researcher, Emotions and Introductory Psychology
In this episode Garth interviews June Gruber from the University of Colorado Boulder. They discuss various aspects of her research focus, which intersects clinical psychology and positive emotions. June shares insights into her Positive Emotion and Psychopathology (PEP) lab, where she explores how positive emotions manifest in psychological disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder. The episode covers the methodologies used in her lab, the ethical considerations in research, and her takeaways from years of studying emotions, including the nuanced understanding that pursuing happiness too intensely can be counterproductive. June also shares her inspiring journey from a small town in California to a distinguished academic career, highlighting the importance of mentorship and community support. The conversation wraps up with her involvement in co-authoring introductory psychology textbooks, emphasizing the importance of making psychological science accessible to a broader audience.

Learning Assistants with Katie Johnson and Katarya Johnson-Williams
Listen to this episode from Intentional Teaching on Spotify. In a Learning Assistants program, students who did well in a course in the past are invited to come back to attend class and help current students learn the course material. I knew these programs could be effective from my time at Vanderbilt University. Last fall when I was at the POD Network conference, I just happened to sit at a table during a session next to Katie Johnson, associate professor of mathematics at Florida Gulf Coast University. I learned that not only did Katie lead a Learning Assistants program at her institution, but also that she was actively involved in the Learning Assistant Alliance, an international group of educators involved with LA programs.I reached out to Katie after the conference to see if she and one of her experienced LAs would come on the podcast to talk about their experiences with their LA program, and they were happy to do so. I talked with Katie and with Katarya Johnson-Williams, a senior in software engineering with a minor in marketing at Florida Gulf Coast University. We talked about the Learning Assistants model, the impact this kind of program can have on faculty and students, and advice for instructors who are interested in starting up an LA program in their department or on their campus.Episode ResourcesKatie Johnson’s website, https://mathdrkj.wixsite.com/homeKatarya Johnson-Williams on LinkedIn, https://www.linkedin.com/in/katarya-johnson-williams/Learning Assistant Program at Florida Gulf Coast University, https://www.fgcu.edu/about/leadership/officeoftheprovost/la-program/Learning Assistant Alliance, https://www.learningassistantalliance.org/ Podcast Links: Intentional Teaching is sponsored by UPCEA, the online and professional education association.Subscribe to the Intentional Teaching newsletter: https://derekbruff.ck.page/subscribe Support Intentional Teaching on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intentionalteachingFind me on LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Mastodon, among other places.See my website for my "Agile Learning" blog and information about having me speak at your campus or conference.

Hi everyone! In this video, I want to show you a bookmark app that I just sent you. I've included public links to these bookmarks, and I hope you'll use the link I provided. Within this bookmark manager, you'll find various links that you can explore. Each bookmark contains instructions and information about what I found interesting. I'll explain more about each bookmark in my email. Additionally, I'll share some GMU resources and labs that you can go through. If you find anything interesting or doable, please let me know. I'm also considering adding interactive activities for our class. If you have time, please take a look and let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
This is an online activity about correspondence bias. Would love for someone to work through it and tell me what you think - how long did it take, do you think our students would find it interesting/helpful - or should I create something like it but adapt for what might work better

Looking to add GMU resources to these or "tips for students" etc. - either specific to my class (reminder about research requirements!) or to university

I often use @WPOpenverse and @flickr to find free and open images to use in other works, but today I found additional collections that greatly enrich discovery.

This guide provides a primer on copyright and use permissions. It is intended to support teachers, librarians, curriculum experts and others in identifying the terms of use for digital resources, so that the resources may be appropriately (and legally) used as part of lessons and instruction. The guide also helps educators and curriculum experts in approaching the task of securing permission to use copyrighted materials in their classrooms, collections, libraries or elsewhere in new ways and with fewer restrictions than fair use potentially offers. The guide was created as part of ISKME's Primary Source Project, and is the result of collaboration with copyright holders, intellectual property experts, and educators.

Open pedagogy projects can be multi-faceted, single-semester, or multi-year, and can result in any number of student-authored/created/directed scholarly or non-scholarly outputs. These outputs could include, for example, a public-facing blog post, translating a Wikipedia page, creating a digital scholarly edition, socially annotating, revising an open textbook, and/or contributing to crowd-sourced transcription projects. The Open Pedagogy Project Roadmap is a module-based resource that will assist you in planning, finding support for, sharing, and sustaining your open pedagogy project, regardless of its size or scope. The Roadmap will take you through four modules which will guide you through the 5 Ss of open pedagogy projects: Scope, Support, Students, Sharing, and Sustaining.
