A university professor is conducting an experiment in open education by sharing course materials online and maintaining open discussion forums. The forums are intended for students in the professor's courses and are voluntary and not a graded component. While participation can continue beyond the courses, any data from the forums will not be used for research without consent in order to maintain openness. The professor hopes this will help students develop their identity as teachers.

Open Education
A Relevant Experiment Classrooms (including university teacher education classrooms) are often private places This has its pros and cons! Im trying the experiment, this semester, of conducting my teacher education practice in a more open way
Open Education This process has a few dimensions: All (most) PowerPoint slideshows from the course will be shared on ݺߣshare I will blog about my teaching (among many other things) at http://www.bravus.com/blog/ I have created, and will maintain and participate in, an open discussion forum at http://www.bravus.com/tribes/
Open Forum The forum is primarily intended for students in my courses this year C both Semester One and Semester Two It has the advantage of being able to continue throughout and beyond your time at Griffith It is also open to the world, which means other people interested in education can be invited and participate C teacher education students and teacher educators elsewhere, practicing teachers and many more
Integration with Formal Courses Participation in any facet of the Open Education experiment is not marked or required as part of either 7032EDN C Middle Years Science Curriculum or 7801EDN C Teaching and Learning in the Middle Years Similarly for 7033EDN C Senior Secondary Science 1 and 7035EDN C Senior Secondary Science 2 in Semester 2 Participation is completely voluntary C intended to help you
Research In the interests of increased openness, I will not be using any data (posts) at the forum for research purposes. This means you will not be asked to sign a consent form to participate. (You will be asked to agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions of the site when you register.) I might write about my own experience with Open Education, but will not quote, describe or identify you: I will be writing about myself, for which I give consent.
Who Am I? Lets start with a discussion topic: As Ill be talking about in the Week 2 lecture, we teach out of who we are Learning to teach is an identity project: a process of developing a new identity as a teacher Well get to your teacher identity soon, but lets just start with a personal identity C Who am I? Ill get the ball rolling, and others have too
