Empower your students with open pedagogy

Empower Your Students with Open Pedagogy

Student-led projects are a great way to inspire students and encourage them to engage with the course. By having them take ownership, they can feel more invested in the material and develop a richer understanding of it. Rather than completing a typical assignment, students come away with a large-scale project that they can include in an academic CV or portfolio. These projects may even be used to benefit future students and faculty.
