Please share widely! Title: The Open Pedagogy Cookbook Editor: Melissa Chim Publisher: ACRL Chapter Proposals due May 2, 2025 I’m excited to invite chapter proposals for The Open Pedagogy Cookbook, an edited volume to be published by ACRL! Please email me at mchim(a)excelsior.edu with any questions. About the book: Open pedagogy promotes students as active creators of information, rather than passive consumers of it. It relies on the use and creation of Open Educational Resources (OER). In place of “throw away” assignments, open pedagogy allows students to engage with meaningful and relevant assignments that will be preserved for future audiences. These assignments can elevate student participation and give students valuable skills to take with them to the workforce. This edited volume contains lesson plans, resources, and inspiration from librarians who have successfully implemented open pedagogy at their institutions. Whether your campus is just beginning its open education journey or has multiple OER champions, this book is for you! Call for Chapter Proposals: Proposals are invited from librarians who champion open pedagogy at their institutions in various ways. Final chapters/recipes need to thoroughly describe a replicable lesson plan or activity and are typically between 1,000 and 2,500 words. The book is tentatively organized in four parts, each dealing with a different aspect of open pedagogy: 1) Library instruction, 2) Technology, 3) Open Licensing, and 4) Resources & Sustainability. This section list is tentative so please do not feel limited in your creativity! Part I Rolling up your sleeves: Library instruction This section will focus on chapters that talk about using open pedagogy in library instruction. These can include one shot presentations, semester long library projects, and more! Same topics can include: Posting to Wikipedia Social annotation assignments Video series Creating a glossary Part II A lid for every pot: Technology This section will focus on technology related to open pedagogy assignments. Chapters may focus on any technology used and its implications for open pedagogy as a whole.
