Beyond the Textbook – Using Open Pedagogy and ScholarRx Bricks to Empower Learners
March 9, 2026
Recorded during Open Education Week 2026, this webinar brings together ScholarRx and the Open Health Professions Education (Open HPE) Collective to explore how open educational resources are transforming health professions education.
ScholarRx introduces the platform’s mission to build a healthier world through accessible, sustainable medical education. The session demonstrates the Bricks library, a collection of over 900 short, interactive digital learning experiences designed to reduce cognitive load and integrate continuous self-assessment. It also showcases the Bricks Create authoring tool, which allows educators to build their own Bricks from scratch, from a Word file, or with the help of AI through ScholarRx’s TAI (Teaching with Artificial Intelligence) initiative. With over 2,600 community-published Bricks, educators can clone, adapt, and localize content to fit their needs, all shared under Creative Commons licensing.
The Open HPE Collective then presents a set of Bricks they created on open education topics, including introductory concepts, open educational resources, Creative Commons licensing, and co-creation strategies. They share practical ideas for using Bricks in faculty training, student orientation, flipped classrooms, peer review, and renewable assignments, demonstrating how the platform serves as a foundation for open pedagogy in health professions education.
The session closes with a discussion on the collective’s “License Your Work” campaign and their vision for growing a global community of open educators in healthcare.
