Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

3/7@ 10am, How Open Educational Resources Help Students Spend Less and Learn More

  • Posted by Maura A. Smale (she/her) on February 11, 2014 at 4:53 pm

    You are invited to an event in the Information Interventions @ CUNY series:

    Open Books, Not Open Wallets:
    How Open Educational Resources Help Students Spend Less and Learn More

    Friday, March 7, 2014, 10am – noon
    The Graduate Center, Segal Theater (1st Floor)
    Refreshments will be served

    Do your students sometimes resist buying and reading textbooks and other course materials? Open educational resources (OERs) such as free or low-cost online textbooks can save students money. There is also evidence that OERs provide deeper engagement with and closer attention paid to course material, which result in more focused teaching and learning.

    Come learn about how to take advantage of new strategies and platforms to ensure that our students have access to high quality curricular materials. Library and classroom faculty from across CUNY who have developed, customized, and used OERs will share their experiences. We’ll also learn about resources and support for OERs at CUNY.

    RSVP by Thursday February 27 to http://tinyurl.com/oermarch7

    Sponsored by the LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable (http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/lacuny-scholarly-communications-round-table/), the CUNY Office of Library Services, and Just Publics @ 365 (http://justpublics365.commons.gc.cuny.edu/).

    There’s another Information Interventions @ CUNY coming up: Stay tuned for a Spring 2014 event about the controversy surrounding dissertations and open access!
