This document provides an overview of the IML555 Digital Pedagogies course. It notes that epistemology and pedagogy cannot be separated and discusses the progression from oral to literate to digital forms of communication. It emphasizes that a course syllabus sanctions certain materials and that popularity does not necessarily indicate quality. It introduces the instructor, Virginia Kuhn, and provides her contact information and links to course resources including a blog and wiki. Students are welcomed and encouraged to challenge assumptions of the course.
