It’s important to maintain a balanced teaching diet! This free and open-to-the-public zoom series organized by Seanna Viechweg and Brandon Walsh is sponsored by the Scholars' Lab and the Digital Humanities Center in the UVA Library.  These sessions on digital pedagogy feature paired lightning talks introducing teaching topics, interesting approaches to the classroom, pedagogical concepts, and more. All in a bite-sized form that should still give you plenty to chew on. Our speakers for this session with information about their contributions:

• Jennifer Isasi, 

  Assistant Director of the Office of Digital Pedagogies and Initiatives and Director of the Digital Liberal Arts Research Initiative at The Pennsylvania State University

  • Blurb:
    • In my Foundations in DH course, students completed project documentation in lieu of a traditional final project, systematically recording the digital research processes they were already using in other classes or MA thesis work but that they had never formally documented. I'll share the key challenges my multilingual students encountered when transforming invisible research decisions into transparent, sustainable documentation, and the collaborative strategies we developed to overcome them.
•  Sean Keenan, Educational Technology Specialist at Bryn Mawr College
  • Blurb:
    • Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning follows an instructional approach that asks students to take ownership of their own education through structured inquiry in a group exploration. I will share my own perspective on implementing POGIL strategies in short workshops and intensive settings as a non-instructional staff member, contrasting my experiences with traditional classroom applications.

Interested in showing off a pedagogical bite? Please fill out this form to indicate your interest in participating in the future! We're interested in showcasing anything you have found that moves you or your students in the classroom, that has worked well or failed utterly. And we are very interested in perspectives from folks in all different kinds of positions and institutional contexts - higher ed, K-12, administrators, cultural heritage workers, and more. After the session, each speaker will submit a short one-page (max) version of their five-minute presentation that we’ll collect into a crowdsourced, citable web publication of bite-sized DH pedagogical goodness. More information on the series can be found here.
