You might draw on your own personal work experience or your own observations.\r\n\r\nUsing your cell phone or any other recording device, create a short video. You don\u2019t have to edit or create a professional-grade film. You\u2019ve most likely have done this type of recording already on social media, so feel free to use the same informal conversational tone.\r\n\r\nThink of your audience as other students who are eager to learn about your experience and your perspective.\r\n\r\nIf you need some questions to guide your response, here are two questions to help you get started.\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>What is the most important function of a good manager?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Why does it matter to you to learn about principles of management?<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;","rendered":"<p><em>Open Pedagogy Assignments are assignments in which students use their agency and creativity to create knowledge artifacts that can support their own learning, their classmates\u2019 learning, and the learning of students around the world.
