Presented by Elizabeth Belanger, Assistant Professor of American Studies, Hobart and William Smith Colleges

The workshop presents a series of methods that utilize digital tools to engage students in the classroom.  While many of us are aware of the large scale digital scholarship emerging from university’s like Cornell, lesser known is the shape and scale of digital scholarship at smaller comprehensive colleges and liberal arts schools.  This workshop focuses of efforts to integrate small scale digital projects into undergraduate humanities classrooms.  It traces the role digital tools have played in 100 level, 200 level and 300 level classes, examining how to scaffold digital skills for novice learners, how to design and “sell” digital projects to students and how to assess student learning outcomes of digital assignments.   The digital tools and assignments discussed include: digital stories, WordPress, GIS and open source web design platforms like Webley.  Participants will leave with sample assignments, rubrics and other teaching resources.  This is intended to be a hands-on workshop and faculty are encouraged to come with questions and ideas of how they might integrate digital tools into their own classrooms and curriculums.
