[[Image:Edupunk.jpg|thumb|Jim Groom as "poster boy" for edupunk]]
'''Edupunk''' is a [[do it yourself]] (DIY) attitude to teaching and learning practices.<ref name="young">{{harvnb|Young|2008}}</ref><ref name="keats">{{cite web | url = https://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/16-10/st_jw | title = Jargon Watch: Green Crude, Popcorning, Edupunk | author = Keats, Jonathon | publisher = [[Wired Magazine]] | date = 2008-09-22 | access-date = 2008-10-17 }}</ref> Tom Kuntz described edupunk as "an approach to teaching that avoids mainstream tools like PowerPoint and Blackboard, and instead aims to bring the rebellious attitude and DIY ethos of ’70s bands like The Clash to the classroom."<ref name="kuntz">{{harvnb|Kuntz|2008}}</ref> Many instructional applications can be described as DIY education or ''edupunk''.
The term was first used on May 25, 2008, by [[Jim Groom]] in his blog,<ref name="groom">{{cite web | url = http://bavatuesdays.com/the-glass-bees/ | title = The Glass Bees | author = Groom, Jim | publisher = Weblog bavatuesdays | date = 2008-05-25 | access-date = 2008-05-30 }}</ref> and covered less than a week later in the [[The Chronicle of Higher Education|Chronicle of Higher Education]].<ref name="young" /> [[Stephen Downes]], an [[online education]] theorist and an editor for the ''[[International Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning]]'', noted that "the concept of edupunk has totally caught wind, spreading through the blogosphere like wildfire".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?post=44760 | title = Introducing Edupunk | author = Stephen Downes | author-link = Stephen Downes | date = 2008-05-28 | access-date = 2008-06-06 }}</ref>
==Aspects==
Edupunk has risen from an objection to the efforts of government and [[Corporatism|corporate interests]] in reframing and bundling [[emerging technologies]] into ''[[wikt:cookie-cutter|cookie-cutter]]'' products with pre-defined application—somewhat similar to traditional [[punk ideologies]].<ref>{{cite news | url = http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/mortarboard/2008/06/punk_or_more_precisely.html | title = Nevermind the pedagogues, here's edupunk | author = Cohen, David | work = [[The Guardian]] | access-date = 2008-06-16 | location=London | date=2008-06-16}}</ref>
The reaction to corporate influence on education is only one part of edupunk, though. Stephen Downes has identified three aspects to this approach:
* Reaction against [[commercialization]] of learning
* [[DIY ethic|Do-it-yourself attitude]]
* Thinking and learning for yourself<ref>{{Cite news | last = Rowell | first = Laurie | title = "Edupunk" Rocks the (Virtual) House | newspaper = eLearn Magazine | date = 2008-07-08 | url = http://www.elearnmag.org/subpage.cfm?section=articles&article=65-1 }}</ref>
==Examples==
An example of edupunk was the [[University of British Columbia]]'s course "[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Murder Madness and Mayhem]]" experiment of creating articles on [[Wikipedia]] in spring 2008, "(having) one’s students as partners and peers."<ref name="mayhem">{{cite web | url = http://bavatuesdays.com/murder-madness-mayhem/ | title = Murder, Madness, Mayhem is so EDUPUNK<!--(sic)--> | author = Groom, Jim | publisher = Weblog bavatuesdays | date = 2008-05-28 | access-date = 2008-06-06 }}</ref> A video clip illustrating an edupunk approach, produced by Tony Hirst at the Open University in the UK, on 8 June 2008, illustrated how quickly the edupunk concept has been adopted outside North America.<ref name="Hirst">{{cite web | url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNTlescIvW0 | title = Changing Expectations| author = Hirst, A.| publisher = YouTube | date = 2008-06-08 | access-date = 2008-06-21 }}</ref>
A website set up by Australian educators illustrates how edupunk spread,<ref name="ausedupunk">{{cite web | url = http://edupunk.com.au | title = edupunk | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080827204329/http://www.edupunk.com.au/ | archive-date = 2008-08-27 }}</ref> and a presentation by [[Norm Friesen]] of [[Thompson Rivers University]] identifies a number of possible intellectual precursors for the movement.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}}
[[Hampshire College]], [[Evergreen State College]], [[Marlboro College]], [[New College of Florida]], and [[Warren Wilson College]] are collegiate institutions imbued with edupunk ideology.<ref name="Friesenpres">{{cite web | url = http://blip.tv/play/AeuPI4OyJA | title = The Edupunk Heritage: Precursors of Open Learning | author = Norm Friesen | author-link = Norm Friesen | publisher = Blip.tv | date = 2009-02-06 | access-date = 2009-02-23 }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name="Friesenart">{{cite web | url = http://wikieducator.org/Open_Education:_Precursors| title = Open Education: Precursors | author = Norm Friesen | author-link = Norm Friesen | publisher = WikiEducator | date = 2009-02-22 | access-date = 2009-02-23 |display-authors=etal}}</ref>
