Open Pedagogy is an educational movement that seeks to motivate students by engaging them to publish information on the web. Do you know that instead of having students write a research paper you can organize them to write an OER textbook on the course subject as a group? Designed for undergraduate students in research focused courses, this activity challenges them to practice their research skills, learn new skills such as writing for a public audience, professional editing, peer reviewing the work of classmates, understanding copyright, and will allow students to publish a work that they can cite on their CVs.
