Tenets: Examining how gender, intersecting with other social categories, structures our lives, learning, and knowledge production, access to resources and information. Uncovering the causes of inequality and leveraging resources toward undoing power structures. Honoring diversity and lived experiences through intersectional approaches. Creating cultures of care in online classrooms. Using technology intentionally to build communities and enhance learning.
Annotation: This article introduces DOCCs (distributed open collaborative courses) as a feminist alternative which addresses the limitations of MOOCs (massive open online courses). The authors explain that DOCCs prioritize learner-centered and collaborative environments which uphold feminist pedagogical principles and embody teaching practices that value diverse experiences, encourage active student participation, and promote critical engagement.
