Catherine’s Philosophy:
I practice openness by intentionally using and reusing OER, creating and sharing my work openly (learning, teaching and research), and teaching and modeling these open educational practices (OEP). But that’s just the what. The how requires much thought and care.
I believe open educational practices can help to increase access to education, contribute towards democratising education, and help to prepare learners —in all contexts— for engaged citizenship in increasingly open, networked, and participatory culture.
Contrafabulists podcast episode #52: Marginalia, on which Audrey Watters shares her decision to un-annotate her blog and her considerations to potentially change her CC license on her site.
Catherine also encourages us to work on de-centering our northern epistemology. There are people working openly on all six continents.
