Digital Learning and UT Libraries would like to invite all UT staff and faculty to participate in our first Digital Learning Book Club, happening in Spring 2024. The Digital Learning Book Club will use a blended online modality (synchronous via Zoom and asynchronous via InScribe) to promote a learning community that cultivates reflection around digital learning topics such as inclusive pedagogy, online equity, and community & care. Reflective reading and discussion will guide the application of content to current online technology trends and concerns. This is not a how-to workshop or technology demonstration, but rather a conversation around important online learning topics.
All UT staff and faculty are welcome, with no prior experience or knowledge necessary. We invite participants to join as learners and select their own level of engagement based on their preferences and availability. Please join when you can and read as you can!
(all synchronous meetings will take place Noon-1pm Eastern)
Meeting 1: Intro and Section 1 – Thursday, Feb. 8th;
Meeting 2: Section 2 – Thursday, Feb. 29th;
Meeting 3: Section 3 – Thursday, Mar. 21st;
Meeting 4: Section 4 – Thursday, Apr. 11th;
Meeting 5: Section 5 and Wrap-up – Thursday, May 2nd;
This upcoming Spring 2024 semester, we will be reading selections from an open-access book:
CRITICAL DIGITAL PEDAGOGY
https://pressbooks.pub/cdpcollection/front-matter/foreword/ About this book (from the publisher):
This is the first peer-reviewed publication centered on the theory and practice of critical digital pedagogy. The collection represents a wide cross-section of both academic and non-academic culture and features articles by women, Black people, indigenous people, Chicanx and Latinx writers, disabled people, queer people, and other underrepresented populations. The goal is to provide evidence for the extraordinary work being done by teachers, librarians, instructional designers, graduate students, technologists, and more — work which advances the study and the praxis of critical digital pedagogy.
This is an instructor focused workshop and only
faculty/staff or GTAs may enroll.
