Supporting and Understanding Open Scholarship

Discussions of “open” in education predate and extend far beyond open educational resources (OER). For decades educators have carefully crafted assignments and spaces to help students freely and responsibly connect with public conversations. Alongside OER, discussions of open scholarship emphasize remixing the open knowledge principle at the heart of OER to be at the core of knowledge sharing assignments within courses. In this article we discuss spaces of open scholarship to help education administrators celebrate and draw attention to the work already being done and to help facilitate additional work in the future.
