Description

Podcasts, blogs, videos, websites, and similar technology-enabled coursework and projects are gaining traction on campus. Frequently emerging as ‘alternative assignments’ to augment or replace the more traditional research paper, the integration of digital technologies can enhance student engagement while achieving course learning objectives. But we have the ability to go beyond substitution. This presentation will share strategies for helping students understand the human, cultural, and societal dimensions of digital technologies - and their roles as consumers, creators, and communicators on campus and in their communities - as secondary learnings outcome of digital assignments.
