when instructors hear about some new technology, it\u2019s not always clear how that technology might be used to support student learning. it\u2019s often helpful to hear how others have used the technology.\u00a0 and sometimes a little experimentation is in order!<\/p>\n

we hope that this series will provide vanderbilt faculty members and graduate students an opportunity to learn from each other as they explore creative and effective uses of educational technology in their own teaching.<\/p>\n

student-produced podcasts<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

podcasts have been around since the early 2000s, but the medium has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, thanks to increasing smart phone adoption and to very popular podcasts like serial and radiolab. educational uses of podcasts are growing, as well. some instructors create podcasts for use in their courses, others assign podcasts as \u201ctexts\u201d for students to listen and respond to. but with the ready availability of podcast creation tools, it\u2019s easier than ever for instructors to ask students to produce podcasts, connecting students with authentic audiences for their academic work.<\/p>\n

in this conversation, we\u2019ll hear from three instructors about their experiences with podcasts as course assignments. panelists include john sloop<\/strong>, professor of communication studies and associate provost for digital learning; larisa desantis<\/strong>, assistant professor of earth and environmental studies; and stacey m. johnson<\/strong>, assistant director for educational technology at the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 and senior lecturer of spanish.<\/p>\n


\nthe conversation will be moderated by derek bruff<\/strong>, director of the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分. the conversation is co-sponsored by the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分, the vanderbilt institute for digital learning, and the center for digital humanities.<\/p>\n

professor foreman is the founding faculty director of the\u00a0colored conventions project<\/a>, which since 2012 has made digitally available six decades of black political organizing that overlapped with and was obscured by the abolitionist movement. the project has involved over 1000 students across the country in undergraduate research through its curriculum adopted by the project\u2019s national teaching partners while launching a transcription project recognized alongside those by the british library and the massachusetts historical society. she\u00a0has also published extensively on race, slavery, and reform in the nineteenth century, creatively\u00a0utilizing media to reach millions\u00a0with her scholarly work. she has been a kellogg national leadership program fellow, is\u00a0currently a ford foundation fellow,\u00a0and co-founded action for social change and youth empowerment, which provided in-depth training to cohorts of young people who then took seats on the boards of directors of leading and state-wide organizations.<\/p>\n

topics for discussion at the digital pedagogy lunch include: thoughts about digital pedagogy from the founders of hastac, \u201cccp in a box\u201d – teaching protocols developed in concert with the colored conventions project, and methods for opening projects to digital innovation more broadly. time will be reserved for open conversation.<\/p>\n

wikipedia in the classroom<\/h4>\n

date:<\/strong>\u00a0monday, november 7th
\ntime:<\/strong>\u00a03-4pm
\nlocation:<\/strong>\u00a0center for digital humanities, 344 buttrick hall<\/p>\n

open to the vanderbilt community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

how often do you look something up online and inevitably stumble across wikipedia?\u00a0 how often have you heard or experienced students using wikipedia as a primary source of information in your course?\u00a0 wikipedia has become a powerful influence for how people, including our students (and ourselves), gather new information online.\u00a0 but have you ever considered harnessing the power of wikipedia for your classroom?<\/p>\n

in this year’s first session of the conversations on digital pedagogy series, we have brought together three instructors from across campus who have used or are currently leveraging wikipedia in their classrooms to talk about their and their students\u2019 experiences with wikipedia.\u00a0 in this conversation, we\u2019ll hear from those instructors about ways their students are engaging with wikipedia through projects, assignments, readings, and\/or classroom activities, and the ways in which those instructors are using wikipedia to help students achieve learning objectives.<\/p>\n

our panelists are:<\/h3>\n

digital timelines

\"molvig-timeline\"remember those timelines you saw in your history textbook back in middle school? today\u2019s digital timelines do far more than present a static, linear progression of dates and names. online, interactive timelines support visually rich displays of information\u2014text, images, multimedia, hyperlinks, even geospatial data\u2014using spatial arrangements, categories, and color schemes to convey meaning. and thanks to tools like tiki-toki<\/a> and timelinejs<\/a>, you and your students can produce your own online, interactive timelines with relative ease, even collaborating on a single, shared timeline.<\/p>\n

in this conversation, we\u2019ll hear from three instructors about ways their students are creating, analyzing, and sharing timelines to understand events in their historical contexts, to identify themes and relationships among events, and to construct historical arguments. panelists include elizabeth meadows<\/strong>, senior lecturer in english; bryan lowe<\/strong>, assistant professor of religious studies; and jonathan redding<\/strong>, phd student in religion.<\/p>\n

the panel will be moderated by derek bruff<\/strong>, director of the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分. elizabeth and bryan participated in a working group on digital timelines organized by the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 this year. read more about the working group on derek\u2019s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
