Jeff McClurken’s terrific pedagogy workshop made me want to sneak in one more session proposal. We spent a fair bit of time in the workshop talking about Jeff’s remarkable digitally-focused classes, but not as much time talking about how to digitally inflect more traditional courses. This might fit into the session Susan proposed about teaching critical thinking with the digital humanities. I’d like to propose a hands-on discussion of ways that participants are digital inflecting their classes–sort of like the small group exercise Jeff pointed to in his document but that we didn’t have time for this afternoon. By the end, I hope that we’d have some tentative plans for ways we could digitally inflect our own traditional courses.
I’d be happy to join in on this conversation, either as its own session or as part of the teaching critical thinking with DH session. They seem closely related. Karen’s comments (and very intriguing project mention) on the CT/DH session proposal also appear to be a good fit with the same theme, too.
Great idea Eric. I’m sorry I didn’t get to this in the presentation but a workshop on developing specific assignments would make for a great session.
