Creative Commons Virtual Global Summit

Using the open Hispanic linguistics textbook project as a case study, we illustrate how open pedagogy maximized opportunities for engaging students in learning by enabling them to contribute to the public knowledge commons through active, student-centered, and autonomous learning tasks. We demonstrate how the coursework and assignments were set up to generate student-authored texts, share examples of rubrics used to assess the student work, and describe how the student-authored texts were compiled and edited. We also discuss challenges overcome and benefits obtained throughout the experience.
