The Open Faculty Patchbook is a digital quilt sewn from pedagogical knowledge for college teaching and learning, created "for faculty, by faculty." A patch of the quilt is a book chapter - hence the name "patch book." Each patch was created by an individual faculty member about one pedagogical skill, such as co-teaching, assessment, instructional design, or self care. A patch represents that instructor's perspective on the pedagogical skill, describes how they use it with their learners, and gives a real-life example from their teaching experience. The Open Faculty Patchbook is a project of Fleming College and welcomes contributions from faculty at other institutions. The project received an Open Pedagogy award from OE Global in 2019. A related project, the Open Learner Patchbook, mirrors the patch book approach from the learner perspective.
