Public higher education should
be sustainably funded with public dollars
be supported by public infrastructures
be committed to broad access
transcend academic and institutional borders
expect collaboration rather than competition�between public institutions
develop learners as citizen contributors
to the knowledge commons
develop faculty as agents of the public good in
teaching, scholarship, and service
expect administrators to speak the language of public
and support public approaches to our work

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.

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