Lightning Talk This presentation will discuss the social justice impacts of open pedagogy. I share strategies used to transform courses by including not only open education resources, but also open education practices to promote social justice, equity and inclusion. Beyond cost savings for students, the benefits of OER and OEP for both students and instructors will be highlighted.
