According to Abbey K. Elder, author of the OER Starter Kit (CC Attribution 4.0), open pedagogy is "The set of pedagogical practices that include engaging students in content creation and making learning accessible..."
BCCampus, a repository and advocate for OER, explains open pedagogy this way, "When you use open pedagogy in your classroom, you are inviting your students to be part of the teaching process, participating in the co-creation of knowledge." (CC Attribution 4.0)
David Wiley, Chief Academic Officer of Lumen Learning explicitly links OP to OERs by coining the phrase "OER-Enabled Pedagogy." in his blog in 2017.

Open Faculty Patchbook and the Open Learner Patchbook is a blog/patch book about how teachers teach and students learn in higher education.
Open Pedagogy Notebook is probably the one "go to" web site to learn about and see examples of OP projects and assignments. (Aug. 2023 note: OP Notebook is now referring to OP Portal from the Open Education Network. See next entry.)
The goal of the Open Pedagogy Portal is to feature case studies, student work product, and teaching and learning resources related to and in support of open pedagogy. This site includes case studies of renewable assignments from specific disciplines and courses, as well as the student work product that resulted from them (if available and openly licensed). Additionally, there are teaching and learning resources such as infographics, professional development materials, and training materials to help you grow your work with open pedagogy. Get some ideas or consider adding your ideas to the portal.
