SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-gb:Reflecting on teaching in the open: Digital Literacies and Open Practice [O-136]
DESCRIPTION:Room: CA107\nTrack: Critical literacies\nSession Description\nThis panel starts by outlining my experiences of teaching a new module: EDM122: Digital Literacies and Open Practice which is part of the MA in Academic Practice at City University of London aimed at teaching staff. The session will be useful to participants looking to understand how open practices and digital literacies might align to the aims and values of their institution. \n\nThe Open Knowledge in Higher Education course at the University of Manchester was a significant influence on the decision to launch this module\, but it was also shaped by concepts such as the Digital Scholar (Weller\, 2011) and the idea of ‘Residents and Visitors’ (White and Le Cornu\, 2011). I had a particular reason for wanting to teach both digital literacies and open practice together given my own research into copyright literacy (Morrison and Secker\, 2018) and the recent research into open praxis by Cronin (2017). \n \nThe session starts with a brief overview of the course\, how it was designed and assessed. I’ll share some feedback from the London 2018-19 cohort and outline ongoing research into the attitudes of staff towards both digital literacies and open practice and the implications for their own educational practice.\n \nAn important component of the course has been a blog and public webinar series with a series of guest speakers (see https://blogs.city.ac.uk/dilop/webinars/). The panel will be comprised of three of my guest speakers from the webinars who will share their own reflections on participating on the course and the relationship between critical digital literacies and open practice.  \n \nWe will consider the following questions\, drawing on the topics of three webinars given as part of the course:\n- What is copyright literacy and how does it relate to open practice and digital literacies?\n- How are open educational practices supported within institutions both at a practical and policy level? \n- How do network values apply in the hierarchical context of higher education?\n- What are the tensions\, challenges and opportunities that a module such as this might expose\, and how can it be used to improve educational practices?\n\nSome of my experiences have also been shaped by the international community of open education and I taught a version of this course in Uruguay in August 2018. I’ll provide a short reflection on the course I ran in Montevideo and the lessons learnt from these participants that shaped my own thinking about what openness might mean in this context. \n \nDuring the session participants will have a chance to contribute their own reflections on the content and nature of this course and we will capture these on a padlet to also allow remote participation. Brookfield’s four lenses of reflection (Brookfield\, 1998) will be used as a way of framing the session and examining our practices. I will share a write up of the event on the course blog after the conference and it will provide invaluable ideas into the second iteration of the module.\n\n\nSession content\nIIntroduction to the panel members and chair - 5 mins\nIntroduction to the module and overview of the content - 10 mins\nBrief summary of reflections from each panel member while collecting comments and observations from the participants on a padlet - 20 minutes (5 mins per speaker) \nResponses to questions and observations from the floor - 10 minutes\nAdditional time to discuss and capture reflections based around Brookfield’s 4 lenses - 10 minutes\nSummary and wrap up and what next - 5 mins \n\nReferences\nBrookfield\, S.
