Open Pedagogy on the OpenLab

In addition to these focused workshops, the OpenLab hosts Open Pedagogy events each semester. These events bring together faculty and staff from across City Tech, CUNY, and the New York metro area for focused discussions of open pedagogy, with an emphasis on how these aspects take place on the OpenLab and in other similar digital environments. Recent topics include access, annotation, copyright and attribution, multimedia pedagogy, and ungrading.
Stay tuned for more information about our Spring 2023 Open Pedagogy event schedule!
