This reflective practice presentation will examine how open educational resources led me inexorably through Domains. Since this journey has been a primary pedagogical influence on my more than 30 years of teaching literate practices at the university level, the presentation will reflect critically through a lens of open pedagogy as outlined by Bronwyn Hegarty (2015). The goals of the presentation, ultimately, are to offer suggestions for developing an open mindset and recommendations for effectively applying OER and Domains in courses using open pedagogical practices.
