Discussion Questions by Sean Palmer https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9 en-us 2023-03-20 02:31:05 UTC 2023-03-27 19:03:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Question #1: You are tasked with creating a new course that incorporates DH into your specific discipline. What kind of course are you creating and why? How will it fit in with your college’s Assessment and the Learning Outcomes for your program? spalmer118 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522782235 2023-03-20 02:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522782235 Question #2: After the accreditation agency comes through, the college has to focus on improving students’ “digital communication skills”. You’re put on the committee tasked with developing the rubric. What do you focus on and why? Are there spaces on campus for DH? IF not, what do you do about it? spalmer118 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522783433 2023-03-20 02:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522783433 Question #3: You’ve developed OER for courses you teach. When you’re being observed, the person observing you says that they don’t understand the OER you’re using. How do you respond to this? spalmer118 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522784081 2023-03-20 02:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522784081 Question #4: You’ve developed OER. How do you list it as an accomplishment in your yearly review? spalmer118 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522784477 2023-03-20 02:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522784477 Question #5: As your department’s DH person (odds are there won’t be more than one), how do you encourage the intensely complacent faculty to buy into it? spalmer118 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522784977 2023-03-20 02:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2522784977 shawna_brandle https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524333334 This pokes at my tender underbelly as a social scientist teaching in a DH program. I'm not sure what I would propose!!! And my home department would never ask me to do that- it's just plain white toast every semester. ]]> 2023-03-20 22:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524333334 A poetry course that uses digital textuality resources to help students analyze poems... Especially older poems, perhaps more 'inaccessible' poets going back to Chaucer and bring them into the modern world. https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524335236 2023-03-20 22:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524335236 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524335818 Thinking back to my Deaf Studies major; I may do a course around technology created for the Deaf, but also, some that are intended for everyone that has benefited the Deaf community, like zoom for example. ]]> 2023-03-20 22:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524335818 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524336776 Grammarly provides an AI editor help that I use as a writing tool for emails, theses, and essays.

I engaged with this during my tenure at John Jay, and, the program director at the GC also uses the email method to communicate with students some program lectures held on zoom that they can engage with to enhance and learn new digital communication skills, working with softwares.]]> 2023-03-20 22:57:59 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524341986 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524345765 I would maybe let them know that it's an interesting question and that I would be happy to send them some links explaining what OER is, and maybe even refer them to the library for more resources. ]]> 2023-03-20 23:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524345765 shawna_brandle https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524345801 I'd tell them to go pound sand (because I'm a tenured full professor).  Just kidding- I'm a tenured full professor- I don't get observed!  (this obnoxious response is meant to indicate the way different levels of power give different instructors different levels of academic freedom)]]> 2023-03-20 23:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524345801 jcamilovalerio https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524345811 I think like we said in question 2, I would explain to the observer that they don't have the full context. The class has been using this since day one, we went over x,y,z.

And show them that they can accomplish the task of educating students using or engaging students through OERs. ]]> 2023-03-20 23:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524352944 https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524353562 It depends on whether or not colleagues are not interested because of their skill set....as a start I would encourage them to encourage students to use digital tools instead. This way the instructor doesn't feel pressured to learn a new digital skill which can be intimidating for a lot of people. ]]> 2023-03-20 23:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524353562 jcamilovalerio https://padlet.com/spalmer118/5vd0gpn8j9vytdc9/wish/2524353702 possibly showing them example, especially if there are example in your college.
