This summer, library & IT is offering four workshops on digital pedagogy and scholarship. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. To apply for one of the workshops, please fill out this Google Form. Because these workshops occur in the summer, faculty stipends will be provided. Below are descriptions and dates for the workshops. If you have any question, please contact Emily Sherwood <egs008@bucknell.edu>.
Exhibit, Instruct, Promote: An Introduction to Omeka for Digital Pedagogy and Scholarship
Wednesday, May 25 – Friday, May 27
Are you interested in building a digital exhibit to share your research or your students’ work? Do you have a great idea for a student project and want to establish best practices for showcasing and assessing their work? In this three-day introductory workshop, we will focus on Omeka, an open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions. The workshop will also introduce Neatline, a tool that allows you to add an interactive spatial and temporal dimension to Omeka exhibits.
Concept Videos in the Classroom: Peer to Peer Instruction through Video
Tuesday, May 31 – Friday, June 3
This workshop will help faculty develop a concept video assignment to implement in a course.Flipping the classroom encourages students to learn key concepts outside of class. If we take that concept a step further and ask students to produce the short videos themselves, we enable them to engage more deeply with the material, share their expertise, and become invested in the collaborative knowledge of the class. While this workshop is open to all disciplines, this approach is well suited for introductory classes in mathematics, engineering, and the sciences.
Introduction to Digital Pedagogy: New Tools and Methods for Student Engagement
Monday, August 1 – Wednesday, August 3
Are you curious about the possibilities for including a multi-modal or digital project in a class but hesitant about the technology, the learning curve, or the process? Perhaps you think digital projects are just for show and only create extra work for you and your students? If you’re new to these approaches, join members of ITEC and Research Services for a three day workshop where we will help you identify and develop a short module that incorporates digital tools to meet your learning outcomes, increase student engagement, and further students’ digital literacy skills.
Advanced Digital Pedagogy: Bringing It All Together
Monday, August 1 – Wednesday, August 3
Have you been incorporating digital projects and modules into your courses and feel ready to take the next step? In this three-day workshop we will focus on crafting a syllabus: integrating learning objectives and scaffolded assignments, and creating rubrics and forms of assessment. You should come away with the design for a teachable course that reflects your interest in establishing rich, digitally-informed learning environments that support your course, departmental, and disciplinary goals.
