Digital Pedagogy and the Undergraduate Classroom.”
To: Institute <institute@lists.uvic.ca>
Dear all,
Thanks to everyone who was able to join us for Dr. Gardner’s engaging talk
about “Women, Websites, and Wikipedia: Accessible Digital Pedagogy and the
Undergraduate Classroom.” The talk is now available on the St Francis
Xavier University YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/B_xLrArwbek
Thanks especially to Lydia Vermeyden at ACENET for facilitating the
livestream and recording. Thanks to Dr. Gardner and the DHSI-East
organizing team for making a last-minute transition online look easy!
*“Women, Websites, and Wikipedia: Accessible Digital Pedagogy and the
Undergraduate Classroom”*
How do you integrate meaningful DH pedagogy into a short, 13-week
undergraduate semester? How can we, as educators, empower students to
create and mediate digital content responsibly? What specific skills do
students need, and what will they learn? In this talk, Chelsea Gardner
addresses these questions through the presentation of three case studies
that each introduce digital platforms into the undergraduate classroom:
Wikipedia Education, Women in Antiquity, and Peopling the Past. These
platforms form the basis of classroom assignments that aim to provide
students with skills that impart digital literacy and contribute to
impactful research through the creation and improvement of globally
accessible, open-access resources.
