Description: Our Contemplative Inquiry (under Curriculum and Instruction MEd) Master of Education program introduces and cultivates a relatively new field of education that seeks to 鈥渋nfuse鈥� the traditional subject areas of knowledge and skills acquisition in education with contemplative modalities. Our plan for the OER Grant is to (a) philosophically re-frame curriculum and pedagogy in the terms of the contemplative; and (2) curate curriculum and research materials for our explicit pedagogical needs. The OER Grant will serve to allow us to create a digital repository for the collective work we do.

Knowledge sharing: Eventually, we hope to have a program website that houses such resources and makes them available to others. The first step is to decide where we would house these resources; our likely initial choice is 丁香园AV Summit. Our second step is to compile a listing of helpful resources produced by faculty members associated with our program that meet the 鈥榦pen鈥� criteria. Next would be to expand this offering by searching out open resources produced by other scholars and experts in the field.
