Peer Response to Britton (Blog 4)

For this post, I’ll reference Britton’s Blog 4 posting:

Open Education and the Tools to facilitate it

Hi Britton,

Your points about global trends in OERs, like micro-credentials and national strategies, are particularly insightful. These trends address some of the challenges OERs face, such as inconsistent quality, and provide great benefits like certifications for learners. I agree that AI could revolutionize OER creation and personalization, though your mention of ethical concerns is valid. As students, we rely on accurate information, so ensuring AI’s reliability is crucial.

I also really like how you broke down open pedagogy—it’s such a refreshing shift from traditional learning styles. The idea of moving from passive listening to active collaboration really resonates with me. It’s so much easier to stay engaged when you’re working with others, bouncing ideas around, and building something together.

Thanks Britton!
