Developing an Ed Tech Curriculum for PhDs
No full textWhat are the essential ed tech tools and methods that new college instructors want and need to know? This project presents an experimental, works-in-progress ed tech curriculum which I\u27m currently developing for the post-doctoral teaching fellows in Stanford\u27s Introductory Studies program. I share some sample models and workshop materials, note the challenges of providing training to instructors with varying degrees of skill levels and diverse disciplinary needs, and discuss different ways to make this type of training more meaningful and useful to new college instructors.

Digital Geographic Tools in the World Literature Course
Get PDFEven as the resources for teaching and learning geography have become increasingly more sophisticated and user-friendly, geography has a decreasing role in general education K-12 and post-secondary courses despite school mission statements that emphasize cross-cultural awareness, global mindedness, engaging in the world, or solving the world’s problems. This presentation explores the value and application of digital geography tools (e.g. Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Trends) in world literature or foreign language literature courses
Student Generated Screencasts and Videos for Learning and Assessment
No full textThis presentation will show how screencasting, video, and Google applications can be integrated within the learning environment for learning and assessment. With the accessibility of technology and skill level of 21st century learners, students are able to document their learning through the use of screencasting and video. Currently, students within a hybrid technology course, at a liberal arts higher education institution, are integrating their accessibility and technology skills within student centered Project Based Learning and student collaboration. Presenters will share the type of learning and assessment strategies with examples that harness the accessibility of technology and skill level of today\u27s learner
Peer review challenges and solutions for video editing
No full textPeer review is an essential and invaluable element of text creation and learning. Often however, the nature of a video project does not easily lend itself to peer review, especially where student-created videos are used to demonstrate learning, not the focus of the class itself. In this session, I\u27ll discuss how we can create peer review moments throughout the semester that contribute to developing digital fluency skills needed for effective and reflective video creation. I\u27ll explain the process used to identify and scaffold the skills, as well as the practical logistics of what these peer review moments looked like
Anti-Anxiety DH: Digital Pedagogy in the Academic Library

GIS Lite – Spatial Visualization Possibilities (Tools) for Non-ArcGIS Users
No full textAcademic libraries have recently witnessed an increasing demand from students in social science fields to visualize their research outputs on maps. Yet, existing statistical software packages, including Excel, SPSS, and Stata, do not offer built-in spatial visualization components, while professional geographic visualization tools such as ArcGIS and QGIS require a steep learning curve for most students to grasp basic visualization skills. This presentation introduces the approach taken at Skidmore College to bridging this pedagogical gap by using four tools, including Google Sheets, Google My Map, Tableau, and Google Maps JavaScript API, with real student research project examples

No full textThis presentation explore the development of an asynchronous course component for foreign language education that permits meaningful oral interaction between instructors and students, complementing the classroom.Two specific tools make this possible: VoiceThread and Extempore. These online tools give students the opportunity to intentionally construct both the message they want to convey paying attention to the accuracy of the necessary linguistic structures without pressures and challenges inherent to the class space. Ultimately, this presentation summarizes how blended learning with the correct tools can further and deepen student language acquisition, upending conventional thought
