I think the difference between a junior and senior front-end developer isn't in their understanding or familiarity with a particular tech stack, toolchain, or whether they can write flawless code. Instead, it all comes down to this: how they push back against bad ideas.
For five years, Digital Pedagogy Lab and Virtually Connecting have orbited each other, each tending to members of an ever-broadening community of educators whose concerns range from open pedagogy and OER to critical classroom practice and equitable design to social justice and access for underrepresented voices in academe. Through their tremendous commitment to creating parallel... Read More
Working on the book. When it goes live on the web, it will be published as a Micro.blog-hosted site with a little JavaScript for auth. The new Lanyon theme’s sidebar works great for the table of contents. The draft is 50 short (micro!) chapters in 6 parts. pic.twitter.com/OWlKGeeh4a

Fleming College faculty (and anyone else who’d like to add!) are building a community patchwork of ‘chapters’ into a quasi-textbook about pedagogy for teaching & learning in college. This space is that work in progress. Each patch of the quilt/chapter of the book (let’s call it a patch book) will focus on one pedagogical skill and be completed and published by an individual faculty member. Wherever possible, we’d like to have the student perspective embedded in the work as well.

This space is here to house the stories of how learners learn in higher ed. Below is a list to choose from for learners to write about how they develop or use that skill.

A wonderful open resource that we hope can help springboard learners themselves into sharing their take on these skills and strategies. It is a list of suggested topics. You are free to choose your own if you’d like to contribute.
CETL creates and organizes resources faculty need to develop their learning environments, including teaching and learning conference support, grants related to teaching development, guides to teaching strategies and frameworks, a library of books and articles, and OU handbooks and documents.
