Non-traditional pedagogical approaches to learning spark a fire in students who are sick of typical classroom structure.

You probably know what kind of structure I’m talking about – memorizing vocab words to do well on weekly quizzes, submitting assignments to Moodle that disappear when you graduate, meaningless engagement with the work we produce. It really makes university kind of drag.

We want to be doing work that’s relevant to us.

Open education comes down to one word: accountability… YOU choose what YOU want to learn, and how YOU want to do it, and when YOU want to do it. Noticing a theme? This is your education, and for the first time, in a very long time, maybe ever, we have a say in what we want to learn.

Jaime Marsh, Keene State College

I was encouraged by more than the grade. I wanted to contribute to something long-lasting, and something bigger than myself.
