Your understanding toward the concept of Open Padegogy is deep. Indeed, Open Padegogy provides different educational method that could both benefit the students and the instructors. Like you mentioned in your post, it uses OER to create an modifiable learning environment for students, instead of just focusing on single students with an unchanged learning plan and materials. Your argument mentioning about the empowerment that open pedagogy is very logical and well-defined too. When students can actually apply their learned knowledge to the real life, it will deepen their understanding about them. And the instructor should consider themselves not only the konwledge “givers”, but a rather “facilitators”. Through the freely-adapted education resources, it can enhance the education to a new level.
