Postdoctoral Council

via Zoom Thursday, September 2, 2021, 12 – 1pm RSVP to reserve a seat.

This session will provide an overview of the resources to faculty in designing and implementing digital, multimedia assignments, including online exhibitions, annotations, timelines, mapping, podcasting, visualization, and polling/classroom response tools. Participants will be introduced to the McGraw Center Toolkit, an online directory of recommended tools for use in digital assignments, to the Canvas Field Guide, a resource of information about digital tools available through the Canvas learning management system, and to the Digital Assignment Guide, an online resource with information about adding a digital assignment to your course with examples of past projects, rubrics and design considerations. Such assignments can encourage collaborative work, exploring multiple literacies, writing for public audiences, and learning to effectively present critical, creative, and community-engaged scholarship. These non-technical outcomes often form the basis of and motivation for the development of digital assignments.

The session will be led by Ben Johnston, Senior Educational Technologist in the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning.

This session does not count for the Teaching Transcript program.
