Oh the Places You’ll Go Embark on a journey through the world of Open Education (OE) where your viewpoint shapes your path. This interactive session invites participants to walk a mile in the shoes of OE stakeholders and navigate through a series of scenarios, challenges, and plot twists. Through role-play and collaborative problem-solving, participants will gain insights into the diverse perspectives within the OE community and explore the impact of their roles on the collective journey. Each participant will be assigned a character and presented with a scenario that reflects real-world challenges and opportunities in the OE ecosystem including faculty/instructors, librarians, administrators, and more.
Through guided prompts and discussions, participants will reflect on the implications of their actions, both individually and collectively, and gain a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in the adoption and implementation of Open Educational Practices.
Learning Outcomes: - Explore different viewpoints within the OE community and understand the complexity faced by stakeholders.
- Identify strategies for overcoming challenges and fostering collaboration in OE initiatives.
- Reflect on personal biases towards OE stakeholders to be better equipped to navigate challenges and build partnerships.
