Open pedagogy leverages the 5R's of OER to allow students to engage in the creation of content and development of new knowledge rather than simply consuming information. Open pedagogy scholar Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani provides a framework for the underlying values of open pedagogy, building on Wiley's 5 R's of OER:
- Respect for the agency of students and creators
- Reciprocate by contributing back to the commons and building community
- Risk is always present with open pedagogy, and we should be mindful of how risks are higher for some (e.g., women, students and scholars of color, precarious faculty)
- Reach means having an impact beyond the classroom
- Resist destructive forces in order to be antiracist, democratizing, liberatory, and decolonized
