a) An understanding of teaching, learning and/or assessment processes (link) 

As an open education practitioner I believe it’s important to practice what I preach, so when I was invited to present a guest lecture for on “Open Education and Co-Creation” as part of an Introduction to Online Distance Learning course, I used the principles of open education to inform the design and development of my lecture.

b) An understanding of your target learners (link)

For the purpose of this section my “target learners” are my peers and colleagues who are part of the connected community of open learners and networked scholars who I engage with as an open practitioner.
