Digital Pedagogy at U. of Washington
Today, at the Simpson Center for the Humanities, Kathy Harris and I had the wonderful opportunity to facilitate a workshop on “Digital Pedagogy in Literary Studies.”
Today, we host the digital pedagogy workshop with @jenterysayers and @tripoftri. Looking forward to the exchange of ideas! #digped

The conversations during the workshop were rife with rich debates, from how much content should be sacrificed in order to teach new platforms to how undergraduate and graduate curricula should change in the near future. The workshop participants also composed their own digitally inflected assignments for courses they are currently teaching or are about to teach, and many of them inquired about how new technologies afford not just new “whiz-bang” effects but also new knowledge.
As always, I left the Simpson Center with plenty to unpack and pursue. Thanks especially to Kathy Woodward and Miriam Bartha for the invitation and support.
