2:30PM Workshop Session I

Breaking down the Digital Assignment: Disciplinary and Methodological Approaches

Jennifer Ahern-Dodson (Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Thompson Writing Program, Duke)

Edward Triplett (Instructor of Art, Art History & Visual Studies, Duke)

This workshop will offer two examples of digital assignments developed for courses in different humanities disciplines using a range of digital methods: one centered on visualization and the other on uses of social media and news media analysis. Participants will see examples from education and writing, as well as architectural history courses and will have the opportunity to engage with the workshop facilitators around the nuts and bolts of creating digital assignments.

Will Cross (Director, Copyright & Digital Scholarship Center, NCSU)

Anne Gilliland (Scholarly Communications Officer, UNC-CH)

David Hansen (Associate University Librarian for Research, Collections and Scholarly Communication, Duke)

This workshop will cover some of the basics of using copyrighted materials in the DH classroom and in DH course assignments. We will use hands-on examples to explore the limitations on the scope of copyright protection, when fair use may apply, and how to think about contractual terms of use, such as those that cover text and data mining.

From Product to Process: Creating Student-Centered Learning Objectives for Digital Projects

Claire Cahoon (Carolina Academic Library Associate, UNC-CH)

Sarah Morris (Humanities Research & Digital Instruction Librarian, UNC-CH)

This workshop will focus on distilling student-centered learning objectives from tool-centric classroom project plans. Creative assignments can be exciting for librarians and instructors, but sometimes they leave students in the lurch. As a group, we will discuss and practice designing goals for digital assignments that focus on the process of learning, teaching, and building instead of the final product. Come explore student-centered digital pedagogy with us!

3:30PM Break

3:45PM Workshop Session II

Designing an assignment using ESRI Story Maps / StoryMapJS

Erica Hayes (NCSU Libraries Fellow, NCSU)

Mia Partlow (NCSU Libraries Fellow, NCSU)

In this workshop, you will learn how you can use Esri Story Maps and StoryMapJS to design assignments in which students combine maps, images, and text to construct spatial narratives. We’ll discuss approaches to guiding students through the technical learning process so the storytelling component doesn’t get lost, how to use these platforms to their full potential, and how to choose a story map template that fits the learning outcomes for your course. We’ll share our activity guides and files for three story map templates.

Evaluating Students’ Digital Projects

Beth Fischer (Digital Project Coordinator, NHC/Duke)

Adrian Linden-High (PhD Candidate in Classical Studies, Duke)

Digital projects can be difficult to assess, especially in classes that are not primarily devoted to teaching specific technologies. This workshop covers best practices and offers some tips for creating and using rubrics and scoring guides for digital projects, as well as ideas for structuring assignments to make assessment faster and feedback more effective.

Access to Technology and Pedagogical Approaches to Scaffold Student DH

Desiree Dighton (PhD Candidate in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media, NCSU)

Grant Glass (PhD Candidate in English & Comparative Literature, UNC-CH)

This workshop will help participants consider access to available software in various institutional settings by briefly highlighting student DH projects at UNC, Duke, NCSU, and Shaw University. Perhaps more importantly, facilitators will question the underlying assumption upon which much DH classroom practice relies: students learn by digital “making.” While this concept is not a fully developed pedagogical approach, there is a way that critical making can develop critical thinking skills in new domains. Facilitators will guide participants in considering the learning outcomes they hope to achieve with specific DH projects and how to scope their projects to their students and institutions. Participants will begin to create activities and resources to support these goals, which, although perhaps involving technologies, will focus primarily on student learning rather than on experimentation with particular technologies.
