Session Description

Lake Washington Institute of Technology has successfully implemented open pedagogy in a variety of specific academic programs over the past several years and student-created materials are regularly used in curricula.

The college is beginning to explore and develop institutional research, including launching its first annual student research symposium in spring 2020. How do open licenses impact scholarship and institutional research within an academic community? What is the responsibility of the college in linking open education and the publication of student works? What are the implications of adding open licenses to work created by students in the college?

This session is designed to brainstorm benefits and concerns regarding the intersection of open pedagogy and institutional research. Emphasis will be placed on how to share published works with specific licenses and systems for storing works on institutional and consortia levels. Attendees should bring their ideas, experiences, and questions to discuss avenues for creativity and collaboration between students and educators.
