Open-source learning
Open-source learning is an education practice that enables students to work in partnership with teachers to develop their own learning experiences and interdisciplinary methods of inquiry.[1][2][3][4]
Through Open-Source Learning, students use the internet and related digital technologies to connect with peers and mentors, and create interactive material that is available online to any user.[2][5][3]
Open-Source Learning is sometimes referred to as “Problem-Based Learning,” "Project-Based Learning," and “Open Teaching.”[2][5] The term "Open-Source Learning" was coined for the context of classroom education in 2009 by David Preston[who?][6]
Overview[edit]
In an open-source learning environment, individual students work with the guidance of a teacher-mentor as networked partners to explore and create concepts, source materials, and research, primarily by using online technology, to develop their own learning experiences.[7][3][8]
Students form socially dynamic learning networks, with other students, online, and in the local community, communicating and collaborating by using online research practices, social media, and other interactive tools.[9][5][10]
Open-Source Learning also include opportunities for traditional performance evaluation of objective production, including formative and summative tests, as well as alternative assessment of portfolios, which can include transmedia presentation of content and the learner’s choices related to platforms, media, and design.[9][2]
Educational equity[edit]
According to Jane Kagon, founder and executive director of RFK-LA,[11] "Open-Source Learning, by its very definition, is an intrinsic structural component of a learner-driven social justice curriculum."[12]
