Editor Acknowledgements

This rich volume of scholarship and practice would not have been possible without the help and support of a several people and groups along the way.

To my advisory board, Amy Eremionkhale, Elizabeth Robertson Hornsby, Heather Miceli, Lee Miller, Judy Orton Grissett, and Veronica Vold, thank you for your expertise and guidance in shaping Pedagogy Opened into an emerging peer-reviewed series centered on openness, ethics, justice, and diversity in our pedagogy. Your time is incredibly valuable, and I’m thankful that you have been equally as excited as I have been to share that time for such an important project.

Thank you, in particular, to Lee Miller, for donating your time and expertise to the advisory board in our first year of project development. We were sad to lose your voice and perspective as you moved on to bigger things this past year, but we’re very excited for you in your new goals.

Thank you to our peer reviewers, Clément Aubert, Tremika Cleary, Becky Cottrell, Catherine Payne, and Kristen Totleben, for your valuable input and thorough feedback on author submissions, which contributed to the completion of seven strong and thought-provoking manuscripts. All peer reviewers consented to their names being published within the volume to recognize their time and work.

Thank you to Leslie Hankey for working with us to implement an open pedagogy project in your visual design courses. Through our work with you, we are thrilled to be able to publish the design work of 25 undergraduate students in this volume, including that of our cover page.

Thank you to Sidney Alexander for your beautiful design work that we’re excited to have as our cover art and for your openness to feedback and revision as we worked to help you finalize your design.

Thank you to the students of IAD 3150: Visual Design I at Kennesaw State University for your interest and enthusiasm to help us design our cover page. We’re so excited to share your amazing work with the world openly—to see all of your designs, check out the “Practicing What We Preach: Implementing Open Pedagogy in a Book About Open Pedagogy” section at the end of the book.

Thank you to the many open education community listservs and social media tags we used to distribute our calls for advisory board members, papers, and peer reviewers over the last two years. Without these valuable communication avenues in our community, it is unlikely that we would have received the diversity of submissions we hoped for in this first volume.

Thank you to Affordable Learning Georgia for providing access to OpenALG for open and accessible sharing of this volume.

And finally, thank you to BJ Robinson and Corey Parson at the University of North Georgia Press for your confidence in me as a scholar and expert in instructional design and open educational resources to lead this project, my first edited collection.
