Open pedagogy brings equity to educations; Making educational resources available to the public can encourage individuals to pursue knowledge without the complexity of going to an educational facility or following special guidelines. However, open learning resources are hard to come by. And most importantly, most open learning, unlike distributive learning, is unsupervised and free, thus not granting the learner a degree when they finish. Most students study to pursue their careers, but without any form of certificates, workplaces would likely not accept their learning outcomes. Thus contradicting their original intention. However, even in universities where the concept of distributed learning is not usually implemented. There exist many inequities in learning. As a computer science student, most of my peers have to go through a 4 to 6 years program to graduate, in which they will have to finish numerous courses for credits. During the hiring process, students are often evaluated through their GPA, which is one of the main motivations that students want to achieve better in grades. Nevertheless, there are multiple ways to boost one’s GPA. Buying textbooks is one of them. From my past experience, textbooks provide excellent materials for reviewing and learning. However, textbooks are extremely expensive compare to other books. For students who are already struggling with tuition and rent, some might not be willing to afford one. Moreover, there are other ways to ‘pay for a better grade. Such as subscribing to online educational services(websites like chegg.com), paying for past exam papers, or hiring tutors. When one’s performance could easily be boosted with money, then the education system is not fair and benefits the rich. This concept goes beyond educational assistance. In the recent pandemic, poor students struggle to find adequate internet for lectures and study space for learning. Whereas wealthier students can provide themselves with better equipment to enhance their learning efficiency. Lastly, students who need to work a part-time job to afford their housing, also have less time to focus on studies than the ones who don’t. Ultimately, I believe the university only provides the most basic materials for students to succeed, yet paying for a higher chance for a higher grade is acceptable. Thus educational institutions do not aim for equity in a global setting, they are only a place exchange of tuition and knowledge. With universities and colleges degrees being the most creditable certification, they have to take initiative on eliminating the exchange of money for educational resources. The fact that most classes don’t require textbooks or distribute free textbooks during the pandemic shows the institutions are working in the right direction.
