Digital scholarship tools and techniques transform the ways we learn and conduct research. It is crucial to introduce both students and instructors to user-friendly tools that enhance their students' research capabilities. The Digital Scholarship Pedagogy Institute aims to equip instructors with strategies for integrating digital tools into their classes regardless of their technical background. Incorporating these tools can include instructional resources, required assignments, or final projects, allowing students to creatively present and visualize their research outcomes. 

In this two-day, in-person institute, we will explore a range of tools designed to organize, advance, and visualize their research. Topics covered include digitization and data organization, visualizations, and digital exhibition/storytelling.

The Digital Scholarship Pedagogy Institute will equip you with resources to integrate digital methods and tools into the classroom.

The inclusion of Open Educational Resources in a learning environment is a fundamental way for instructors to provide their students with quality, low-cost course materials. However, locating and implementing these materials can be a daunting task. 

In this one-hour virtual training session, you’ll learn how to find and identify OER, as well as gain ideas about resource evaluation and implementation. The session will cover best practices for both OER adoption and creation, though no prior experience with OER is needed. 

This series is free and open to university faculty, graduate students, and staff, but registration is required
