Past Events

This one-day summit brought together faculty, students, librarians, instructional designers, and administrators from across all of Maryland’s postsecondary institutions to explore the contours of open pedagogy, from philosophical questions it raises about power in the classroom to practical questions about how to jump into the practice. At the heart of the conference was the question: what happens when students and their collaborators—peers, faculty, community members, librarians, and more—drive knowledge creation?
