Free iPads!?:
Scalable Digital Pedagogies for Undergraduate Education
Friday, October 14, 12:00 p.m. Anna-Maria and Stephen Keller Auditorium, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, 66 Fifth Avenue
This panel will debate the pros and cons of new courses of study that aspire to engage digital pedagogy with the goal of establishing computer literacy and social engagement. Contemporary digital pedagogy incorporates contemporary teaching strategies and novel learning tools. New courses designed to teach computer literacy often feature collaborative learning, intellectual problem solving, rigorous assignments, direct links to global contexts, as well as effective assessment and reporting to improve outcomes for students. The purpose of the panel is to define digital literacy for undergraduate students, share curricular assignments and methods, and examine the varied ways in which such literacy requirements either dilute or enhance undergraduate education. Each member of the panel will provide a case study of an educational course, or set of courses that aims to enhance digital fluency in an expanded undergraduate population, followed by a discussion and brainstorming session focused on how to enhance classes that demand students to expand their own notions of computer literacy. Hasan Elahi (University of Maryland) Tiffany Holmes (The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) Elizabeth Losh (Sixth College of UCSD) Adam Trowbridge (The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) Jessica Westbrook (The School of the Art Institute of Chicago)
