OERu wicked questions
Facilitator: Volunteer
30 mins
Wicked questions highlight paradoxical-yet-complementary forces that are constantly influencing behaviors and that are particularly important during change efforts. They expose tensions between the espoused vision of OERu and local institutional contexts.
Question template: “How is it that we are ... and we are ... simultaneously?"
Example: "How is it that OERu has an award winning OER course, Learning in a Digital Age, and only one partner has adopted the course as an elective for a local degree?"
- Working alone, each participant writes down their own OERu wicked question and posts this question on community.oeru.org for record keeping purposes (5 mins)
- Working in four small groups, participants identify the most impactful wicked question. (6 mins)
- In plenary, the group discusses and refines these wicked questions for brainstorming solutions during the next session (9 mins)
