Open Pedagogy in Practice: Designing Learning Circles for Professional Development

Authors: , ,

Abstract

In 2022, the Open Education Network (OEN) hired an open pedagogy fellow to create short-term learning circles focused on open pedagogy as part of their strategic planning. The circles were to offer more professional development opportunities and resources that anyone could use and adapt. This Innovative Practices piece covers the design, implementation, and assessment of the learning circle from its pilot round to the present day and provides instructions on how to use the curriculum at your own institution. The authors also share all openly licensed curriculum resources needed to implement learning circles.
