Teaching Students to Become Digital Content Curators
Today’s students are faced with a virtual tsunami of digital information. Given this dilemma, they are often willing to surrender and rely on the first website listed on their Internet search. This can lead to disaster for, as we know, not everything on the Internet is of value, true, or accurate. A remedy to this situation is to arm students with the skills of digital content curation. This text outlines a seven step process that can easily be embedded into the curriculum of any academic discipline. It provides the reader with the skills necessary to examine digital content, determine accuracy, and synthesize that information into a creative and reliable product.
Inclusive Hospitality in Online Learning
Online learning is often criticized for being impersonal and distant; inclusive hospitality is intended to counter these arguments by creating a learning environment that is welcoming, safe, and engaging. This begins with using course design principles that provide a course that is easy to navigate, and provides opportunities for interaction, relationship building, and active learning. Faculty, however, also play a key role in creating this platform for learning. Faculty teaching in an inclusive and hospitable manner are themselves teachable, empathetic, available, and consistent. This book provides a path and set of tools for faculty to welcome, encourage, and instruct their students in a powerful and transformative manner. It encourages them to consider how they might provide their students with the opportunity to be valued as individuals, as well as masters the content of their academic disciplines.
