3. Increasingly, I think the work of education
is activism not teaching
Jesse Stommel, July 30, 2017, Digital Pedagogy Lab Vancouver
My commitment to engaged pedagogy
is an expression of political activism

35. I would not have bought the text book for
this course because it's an elective. I
would have possibly walked away with a
C, now I might actually get an A-
It is easily accessible and convenient.
Material is easy to understand and follow
I personally really like the convenience of having the
complete set of chapters on my computer and even
accessible from my phone if I need it. I like that I don't
have to lug around another text book
It's free and it's a great money saver

36. “I don’t feel poor.
I know I can come into this
class and for 50 minutes
nobody’s looking at me like
I’m the poor kid”

37. “OER improve end-of-course grades and decrease DFW rates for all students”
“They also improve course grades at greater rates and decrease DFW rates
at greater rates for Pell recipient students, part-time students,
and populations historically underserved by higher education.”

38. “…students assigned an open textbook in either format
perform either no differently from or better than those
assigned a commercial textbook”

49. …it turns them into ‘containers’ to be ‘filled’ by the teacher. The more
completely she fills the receptacles, the better a teacher she is. The more
meekly the receptacles permit themselves to be filled, the better students
they are.
Education thus becomes the act of depositing, in which the students are
the depositories and the teacher is the depositor.
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by
those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they
consider to know nothing.
