Blog #2 – Open Pedagogy, the Way Forward 🏃
As a SENG student, I have often turned to Youtube videos to learn math, physics, and computer science instead of solely relying on textbooks. I know at least a few of you out there resonates with me 👀. Now, let’s envision a learning experience where students can actively participate in revising and contributing to established textbooks, making them more relevant, engaging, and student-friendly. Think enhancing interactive quizzes, simulators, graphical illustrations – even just re-explaining concepts in simpler terms can go a long way.

Hi Rick, I agree that having students form groups and try to create a team presentation is a great way to put their teamwork skills to the test!
