How to Get Started

Ready to dive in? The online portion of this course is divided into six modules. Modules 1, 4, and 6 are one week long; weeks 2, 3, and 5 are two weeks long. Each week runs from Monday to Sunday. You will have two different deadlines for each module, on Thursdays and Sundays. Specific deadlines are listed in the introduction of each module.

  • On modules with two weeks and a discussion forum, the initial forum posting will be due on the first Thursday with the responses always falling on Sundays. 
  • All activities and self assessments will be due on Sundays.
  • Throughout the course, you will be working on an OEP Action Plan Links to an external site. that will help you thoughtfully plan your curricular revision/open pedagogy project. Please make a copy of this document, and then we suggest that you work together on this document, each week adding to it as directed by the instructions, submitting the link to your document for your instructor weekly. 

Success Tips

This course requires extensive online work, including readings, videos, participating in discussion boards, and completing your OEP Action Plan with your partner. You’ll need regular access to a computer and a reliable network connection to participate fully. As you navigate the course, keep the following tips in mind:

  • Pay close attention to due dates and stay on top of weekly assignments. Review all of the assignments in the current Module to map out your time accordingly. If you find yourself struggling with the deadlines or if you encounter any issues with our Canvas course, please contact your instructor immediately.
  • If you know that you have a busy schedule coming up, we encourage you to start on the next module early. If you do work ahead, be sure to loop back to the current module's discussion to stay involved in the live discussion with your cohort.
  • Set up regular meetings with your faculty/librarian partner to reflect on what you've both learned in the modules and prepare for your OEP Action Plan's development.
  • Discuss OEP Action Plan assignments together with your partner to make sure you have shared goals and expectations about your plan's implementation.
