Abstract/Description
Digital assignments afford students opportunities to grapple with their roles as digital citizens, encouraging reflection on information consumption and their responsibilities as knowledge creators within the disciplinary context of a course. Libraries and Archives are laboratories, equipped with materials, spaces, tools, and experts poised to facilitate experiential learning through the creation of creative and collaborative digital projects.
This workshop is a crash course in re-engineering coursework and adopting digital projects in your classroom – with purpose. Attendees will bring a ‘traditional’ assignment and work backwards to identify opportunities for enhancing students’ learning with and through technology, both as classroom learners and as members of a larger community. We will discuss the purpose and implications of augmenting assignments with digital tools, and develop strategies for integrating technology into existing coursework. Attendees will leave with the information and resources they need to begin planning for digital curriculum and assignments for the Fall semester.
Goals for Attendees
Identify opportunities to restructure assignments and engage with technology in ways that engage students and offer transformative learning experiences. Articulate the role of students and educators in the consumption, curation, creation, and publishing of knowledge. Develop strategies and next steps for incorporating digital projects in Fall 2024
