New Resource on Open Access, Pedagogy, Learning – ProfHacker - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education

"Open: The Philosophy and Practices that are Revolutionizing Education and Science, edited by Rajiv Jhangiani and Robert Biswas-Diener, which has just been published Open Access (of course) by Ubiquity Press, is an invaluable resource for getting started in understanding what 'open' is, as well as how it has been applied and practiced across multiple types of institutions, disciplines, and educational settings.

What I really like about this book is that it takes a really broad approach to open, including Open Pedagogy, Open Teaching, Open Access, and Open Data. There are chapters that argue for the quality of OER resources, for the utility of Open Pedagogy, and for the transformational potential of these approaches and resources. There are also 'how to' guides describing how scholars and educators implemented their approach to open in their particular setting. But, perhaps most importantly, it sets the tone with a serious philosophical and critical discussion of the notion and practice of open."
