Digital Pedagogy Keywords, NITLE Shared AcademicsRebecca Davis
Rebecca Frost Davis, one of the general editors of The Digital Pedagogy Reader and Toolkit, will give an overview of this born-digital publication. Seminar participants will contribute to the project, which is aimed at aggregating digital tools used by adventurous practitioners and presenting pedagogical projects in their original forms.
Liberal Education in the Emerging Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
How does the emerging digital environment shape teaching and learning in the 21st century? What skills, abilities, and habits of mind do today’s graduates need for their careers and to solve complex problems in this context? The future of liberal education depends upon an integrative vision of digitally-informed learning that is not merely digital content delivery but rather is reshaped in the same ways that digital learning has already fundamentally changed our culture. This talk will present a vision for implementing liberal education in the emerging digital ecosystem through a curriculum that scaffolds digital engagement from introductory to capstone level courses.
Digital Humanities and Undergraduate EducationRebecca Davis
How does digital humanities fit into the undergraduate curriculum? This workshop will look at digital humanities from an institutional perspective, considering how it advances the learning outcomes of undergraduate education and sharing models of high impact practices from the digital humanities classroom.
Disruptive Innovations in Learning Technologies Rebecca Davis
A variety of technology-enabled learning modes are changing the landscape of higher education. How might these changes impact the training and development profession? Rebecca Frost Davis, Director of Instructional and Emerging Technology at St. Edward’s University will review developments in technology-enabled learning that are disrupting the traditional model of higher education, including the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, and open educational resources. Participants will then explore how these disruptions might affect their approach to workforce training and development.

New Faculty Roles in the Emerging Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
If all information is available online and the best professors are giving their lectures away for free, do we really need so many faculty members? This questioning provides an important opportunity to redefine the faculty role in a way that advances the goals of liberal education. Rather than merely being repositories of content knowledge, faculty must help students progress along the path to mastering life-long learning. Terminal degrees indicate not only content expertise, but also the transferable learning skills of a master-learner, including synthesis, analysis, evaluation, and creativity. The key faculty roles, then, are mentoring and modeling learning, collaborating with students as they build learning networks, and helping students learn to self-evaluate as they develop the agency to become life-long learners. This session will explore alternate models for understanding the faculty role drawn from digital learning models and strategies for promoting that role at the individual, departmental, and institutional level.
Using Smart Technology to Increase Course Offerings in World LanguagesRebecca Davis
Low enrollment in world language courses can prevent a college from offering a breadth of languages and depth in any single language. To help overcome this challenge, five independent colleges in Texas are using high-definition videoconferences, thereby hoping to preserve the “high touch” element that is a hallmark of education in a liberal arts college. These institutions are working with the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE) to explore important research and implementation issues across academic, logistical, technological, financial, and curricular dimensions. CAOs from two of the participating campuses will describe their responses to these issues and how shared programming has surmounted many obstacles to maintaining strong world language departments.
Building Liberal Arts Capacities through Digital Social LearningRebecca Davis
How can assignments that take advantage of digital tools and methods build student capacities in critical reading, thinking, and writing?

Using Disruption to Stay on Course (for Liberal Education)Rebecca Davis
Today’s news headlines are filled with startling reports about U. S. higher education. Calls for dramatically reduced cost are paired with critiques of higher education outcomes, demands for jobs for graduates, and images of online learning (especially the massive open online course or MOOC) as the new magic bullet that will remake our system of higher education by bringing learning to the masses for free. But what do these developments have to do with institutions that focus on liberal education? How are liberal arts colleges and universities preserving a focus on their key missions and goals during a time of dramatic change in higher education?
This workshop will focus on technology-enabled disruptions challenging the traditional high touch liberal arts model—e.g., the massive open online course or MOOC, blended learning, big data, the globally networked world, etc.—and investigate creative responses that adapt these disruptions in service to the essential learning outcomes and high impact practices of liberal education. Participants will discuss disruptive innovations, examine cases of adaption to the liberal education context, and consider how they might implement such adaptions at their own institutions.
Educating Problem-Solvers for Our Emerging Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
What skills, abilities, and habits of mind do today’s graduates need to navigate and solve complex problems in a constantly changing, globally-connected world? How can we integrate digital skills in support of critical thinking and inquiry across the curriculum? The future of higher education depends upon a model of digitally-informed learning that is not merely content delivery online but rather is education reshaped in the same ways that digital technologies have already fundamentally changed our culture. This talk will present a vision for building an integrated curriculum that fosters self-directed, digitally-augmented problem-solving from introductory to capstone level courses and prepares graduates to partner with technology to solve problems.
Engaging Undergraduates with Digital Scholarship ProjectsRebecca Davis
In the 21st century we face complex problems that cross disciplines and require collaborative approaches. Digital tools and information networks make it feasible to design project-based learning experiences that engage students by integrating them into the research process. This presentation will provide examples of how such projects, when integrated into courses, help students develop skills to work collaboratively, apply appropriate tools, and learn flexible problem-solving skills.

The Liberal Arts Online: an ACS Blended Learning Webinar
Dr. Rebecca Frost Davis, Program Officer for the Humanities, National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE)
Improving technology, changing students, challenging finances, and alternative credentialing sources have all combined to create an online learning boom in higher education. For liberal arts colleges, online learning promises to enhance the curriculum by moving some tasks online to allow for more active learning face-to-face, increasing student time on task, connecting study abroad or internship students back to campus, adding curricular resources, or expanding access to liberal education. Whatever the motivation for considering online learning, liberal arts colleges are forging new ground in bringing the liberal arts educational model--highly interactive, close work between students and faculty--into an online context. This seminar will explore a variety of models for using technology to fulfill the essential learning outcomes of liberal education and suggest ways faculty might enhance their courses with online teaching.

How do we integrate liberal education and authentic learning experiences with our digitally-networked context? What does community-engagement look like in a virtual community? In this session participants will consider case-studies of technology-enhanced community-engaged learning drawn from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments (co-edited by the session leader) with a focus on digital pedagogy keywords such as, Community, Digital-Divides, Fieldwork, Public, Race, and Social Justice. Participants will develop a curriculum that scaffolds self-directed digitally-augmented problem-solving from introductory to capstone level courses. Participants will explore innovative pedagogies, interrogate effective models for integrating authentic learning opportunities shaped by digital tools and resources at all levels, and work collaboratively to develop a toolkit and to-do list for encouraging this type of learning on their own campus.

Liberal Education Unbound: The Life of Signature Student Work in the Emerging Digital Learning Environment
The Next Generation of Liberal Education Reforms
Featured Session
Thursday January 22, 2015 10:45am to 12:15pm
2015 Annual Meeting: Liberal Education, Global Flourishing, and the Equity Imperative
How does the emerging digital environment shape the life cycle of students’ signature work in the 21st century? Digital technology has changed the learning ecosystem, and the future of liberal education depends upon an integrative vision of learning that is not merely advanced by digital tools, but reshaped in the same ways that digital learning has already fundamentally changed our culture. In this forum, we will explore what a synthesis of liberal education and connected learning can look like through the lens of signature work and the possibilities that the digital opens up at each stage of this work.

Presentation for Opening Plenary Panel, Staying on Course, Teaching Symposium, St. Edward's University, 22 August 2013. How do liberal arts colleges maintain their values in the face of disruptive innovations?
Digital pedagogy is here; it’s just unevenly distributed--at least in the world of colleges and universities. What would higher education look like if we designed not only individual learning experiences but also an entire curriculum to mirror and prepare students for life and work in a globally networked world? How could the convergence of new digital scholarly tools and methodologies, new delivery mediums, and digitally networked culture transform higher education? This session will situate the development of digital pedagogy in the current discourse about higher education--including calls for quality, completion, jobs, and access--offer a vision for transformative digital pedagogy, suggest both barriers to and strategies for achieving that vision, and engage participants in a thought experiment to design an integrated curriculum articulated by digital pedagogy.

Search, citation and plagiarism: skills for a digital age have to be taught!CIT, NUS
By N. Sivasothi
A "writing workshop" of three 24-hour essays is integrated into a first year core module (biodiversity) and a personal statement and field report are requirements of a popular second year elective (ecology).
General and specific feedback is provided by motivated TAs to students in groups and individually. Offered both semesters, the typical enrolment is about 200 students. It had became clear that skills for a digital age had to be specifically taught to enhance scholarship. Some of those lessons are discussed here.
Besides the slew of tips for conducting an effective Google search, an ability to adapt the vocabulary of specific disciplines and an evaluation of site credibility are important skills.
Learning and understanding citation of sources in detail has turned out to be key in ensuring an appreciation and differentiation of the diversity of resources available online. This helps eliminate unintended plagiarism (which we evaluate using Turnintin) and facilitates an understanding of scholarship.
Other basics which require exploration are Creative Commons for use of digital resources, Wikipedia as a jump start rather than a primary resource, the quick way to invoke NUS Digital Library access to journals and the basics of email etiquette.
While our writing workshops were initiated to emphasise the critical basics of clear and effective writing, a critical component will be digital skills.
Getting Started in The Digital Humanitiesjkmcgrath
Slides from a conversation I had with graduate students and faculty members in Boston College's English Department about "Getting Started In The Digital Humanities" (April 11, 2014). Most images contain hyperlinks, so please click around!
Digital Humanities is a term that elicits both excitement and scorn in scholarly circles, and there is still a great deal of discussion as to whether it is a field of inquiry, a set of research methods, or simply a new perspective on arts and humanities research. This workshop will provide a brief survey of how the evolving theory and practice of using contemporary technology and technology-assisted research methods are impacting scholarship in the arts and humanities.
It's Not About the Tools: Weaving Digital Humanities into Literature CoursesSan Jose State University
In line with the first Mellon planning grant goal (" To learn about best practices for digital humanities teaching in the liberal arts context"), I will focus on in-class learning strategies using (or not) digital tools to engage with Digital Humanities. During the Fall semester, I blogged for WW Norton Publishers (http://www.fairmatter.com/katherine-harris/) about two traditional literature courses that I converted into Digital Humanities courses by employing open access tools as well as digital literary media. I walked into many of the class meetings and asked students to go off and do something -- as a test to see how many of them were truly "digital natives." Some of the digital tools were incredibly helpful while others were not. Twitter and tweeting as a character was one of their favorite assignments by far; not far behind was creating a pastiche from a ripped up novel and then posting that pastiche to their blogs.

High-Impact Educational Practices in the Online Classroom?Rebecca Davis
In 2014, 28% of students took a distance course, with the majority of those (67%) attending public institutions and 35% at public two-year institutions. While online learning promises to improve access, it often seems incompatible with high-impact practices (HIPs) that benefit low income and underserved students. Panelists, drawing on personal experience teaching online and the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) Online Humanities Consortia, Open Learning: A Connectivist MOOC for Faculty Collaboratives in the state of Virginia, and Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments, will discuss opportunities and strategies for HIPs, including writing-intensive courses, collaborative assignments, undergraduate research, diversity/global learning, service learning, and capstone courses, in an online setting. Small groups will explore models, discuss challenges of implementation, and consider institutional strategies to address those challenges.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
