On an Adventure

Today I’m starting on an adventure. I’m teaching two sections of Freshman Seminar using Open Organization principles. My goals are to see how Open Org principles can fit the classroom and to see if using those principles will impact student engagement.

I really want students to own their learning and the beginning of the freshman year is an ideal place to introduce a new culture.  At what point in ones life are you more ready for change?  I’ve been working with Bryan Behrenshousen who has provided very helpful insights int0 how this might work as he preps an Open Source course for Duke.

First up is collaboratively defining the late and absence policies.  I’ll keep you posted!
