Free OER Book: ChatGPT Assignments to Use in Your Classroom Today

As part of DESC’s ongoing work to provide resources to educators across Douglas College, we provide the following Creative Commons licenced book from the University of Central Florida on creating assignments that incorporate AI chat tools such as ChatGPT. These would also work with the Douglas College access to Microsoft’s BING AI chat through our Office 365 account.

To find Open Educational Resources (OER) by subject, visit the Douglas College Subject Guides where you will see the “Finding Open Educational Resources” tab on the sidebar menu on each Subject Guide. Here is an example from the Psychology Subject Guide where there are suggested OER lists for textbooks, websites, collections, and ancillary resources. See picture below:

What’s open about open pedagogy?

The open education community is abuzz about open pedagogy. While not losing sight of the importance of using, revising, and creating open educational resources, many are thinking more about how to open up their teaching and learning practices. But how might we understand what open pedagogy is, and why should we think of it as “open”? 

On October 26 from 1:30-3:00pm in the Aboriginal Gathering Place at Douglas College in New Westminster, Christina Hendricks will discuss some possible ways to answer those questions, while pointing out that there are multiple legitimate ways to do so. She will also provide examples of how faculty and students are participating in open pedagogical practices in BC and elsewhere.

All students, faculty, and staff are welcome at this event. Please REGISTER here.
