Open Pedagogy on the OpenLab aims to generate community and discussion around digital pedagogy on the OpenLab. Faculty and staff can pose questions, stimulate discussion and share teaching materials, resources and ideas related to teaching and learning on the OpenLab. We also share information on our Open Pedagogy events, which are CUNY-wide events held at City Tech where we discuss particular aspects of critical digital pedagogy. Past topics have included Open Educational Resources, Writing and Open Digital Pedagogy, and Annotating Digital Texts.
