Abstract
ABSTRACT The new generation of students, Generation Z students, have different expectations of their education. They value inclusivity, social consciousness, and hands-on learning experiences. To meet their expectations, we argue that educators should use renewable assignments. These assignments add value beyond the course by creating Open Educational Resources (OER), openly licensed with the 5R: retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. In this article, we first present renewable assignments, OER-enabled pedagogy, the assignments that students used to develop openly licensed educational material and the products they created. Then, we offer step-by-step guidance on crafting effective renewable assignments. Finally, the two students who coauthored this paper examine how OER-enabled pedagogy follows the learning skills of Generation Z: independence, collaboration, and engagement.
