Working in open environments enables faculty and librarians to support students as knowledge producers and surface their diverse, often under-represented voices. Assignments created using open pedagogy can broaden the audience and impact of student work. But how do students feel about working openly? How can faculty and librarians support and advocate for students in open environments? This panel will share faculty, student, and librarian experiences with creating and supporting open student work. This includes the creation of a Statement on Student Rights in open environments, which centers student agency and encourages informed participation in open contexts.

Outcomes:
Attendees will recognize how open pedagogy can further develop student agency and an understanding of themselves as participants in knowledge creation.

Attendees will evaluate opportunities and challenges that arise from open assignments and syllabi, including those related to privacy and intellectual property.

Attendees will reflect on their own institutional contexts in order to identify opportunities for deeper engagement with open pedagogy and advocating for student rights.
