Digital Pedagogy
A workshop co-presented (with Dr. Denna Iammarino and Dr. Caitlin Kelly) on “Digital Writing in the Classroom” at the Digital Pedagogy Institute Conference in Waterloo in July 2019. Presented strategies and assignments that use digital tools to encourage non-linear, media-rich, interactive writing, revision, and research.
With support from CWRU’s Utech and in collaboration with several colleagues, we piloted assignment sequences using Scalar (developed by USC’s Alliance for Networking Visual Culture ) and other digital tools in the writing classroom. Our Scalar book “Digital Writing” records our experiences and suggestions toward effective practices.
