Catherine Cronin discusses open education on episode 152 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Twitter has been a big part of my learning and my teaching. –Catherine Cronin One of my key roles is helping learners develop their voice and their agency. –Catherine Cronin Openness is always continuously negotiated. –Catherine Cronin We need to be willing to be criticized ourselves. –Catherine Cronin Having a personal learning network and being able to learn from each other is essential. –Catherine Cronin Resources Mentioned Catherine’s Philosophy: I practice openness by intentionally using and reusing OER, creating and sharing my work openly (learning, teaching and research), and teaching and modeling these open educational practices (OEP). But that’s just the what. The how requires much thought and care. I believe open educational practices can help to increase access to education, contribute towards democratising education, and help to prepare learners —in all contexts— for engaged citizenship in increasingly open, networked, and participatory culture.
