From the article Open Pedagogy – A Guide to Making Open Textbooks with Students, I learned about that if we intend to make an open textbooks with our students, there will be much stuff to be considered. One of the most important thing is that we must be familiar with the learning condition of our students and keep asking questions that might be included in the book. What’s more, we should think about the role of Open Pedagogy to learner-driven education as well as OEP.

 

Since people began to share information by using digital tools, digital privacy becomes a hot topic that people think highly of. No matter under what circumstance, people’s privacy should be respected and protected. Even in Online learning, digital redlining still exist, which arouse out of policies that regulate and track students’ engagement with information technology. Although in some conditions, just like the story of the girl at the very beginning of the article, people might have trouble dealing with the problems of the digital privacy, such problems should not be neglected. Honestly speaking, this article reminded me to pay more attention to the protection of digital privacy online. For my open learning course, I will certainly respect the privacy of my students and their choice about whether posting prompts in public.
