While reading the topic three readings, the one that stood out to me the most was the article, “ A Guide To Making Open Textbooks With Students.” The idea of “Open Pedagogy” is something I had never heard of, which sparked my interest easily. The fact that it is a way for theories and other sections in learning to come up in conversation. This allows for students to remember and have information stick with them longer because they can break it down in conversation while participating with their own questions or opinions.
Open Pedagogy can be beneficial for open education and schools who want to incorporate those learning behaviours and styles into their educational institutions. For me, I see this as a win-win for both the students and the professors/ teachers. This may be because students can indirectly determine how and what they want to learn about a specific topic whether it may be of value or not, that is up to the professor to decide.
We see that a lot of assignments in high school could of easily been replaced with a much more beneficial and treasured assignment. As a result of this, I think that the information would be more long lasting to students.

Very knowledgable writing! Open pedagogy can really help students to learn better, they can join the courses not only as learners but also designer somehow, their discussion can highly affect each other’s learning progress.
Hi Kenzie! The obvious advantage of open education is to make education more efficient and meaningful. The article mentioned that students can participate in the compilation of open resources, which I think is very good. Unlike homework, students’ efforts can be permanently recorded. Students can help others easily and directly. Yaqi my blog3: https://yaqi.opened.ca/edci339-topic3/
