Moving from the use of open educational resources (OERs) to an "open educational practice" helps students to understand themselves as knowledge creators in a community, and not just as information consumers. This article focuses on class projects to edit Wikipedia articles, which is only one example of an open educational practice, but an easy one to start with.

What if you asked students to answer an open-ended question as a way of taking attendance? "When we trace back the meaning of attend through Old French (atendre) to its Latin root (attendere), we can see that when we attend, we are "stretching our mind toward" something. The attendance question gets students to pay attention through inviting them to stretch their minds toward a question which has no right answer."

After the focusing activity, their posture became more relaxed and they seemed more receptive to learning."
