Digital literacies workshop

| 0 Comments
As part of my summer Fellowship in ETS, I'm collaborating with Digital Commons staff to present a workshop on digital storytelling and library research.  The workshop is a precursor to the Learning Design Summer Camp, and is simply a great opportunity to discuss student multimedia creation, copyright and fair use, and information / technology / media literacies in an interactive environment.

Following is the workshop info (including registration link) that Allan Gyorke sent out today.  Hope you can join us!

PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOP ON DIGITAL LITERACIES
The University Libraries and Digital Commons are jointly hosting a pre-conference workshop on Developing Literacies for Student Digital Media Activities.  It will be held Monday, July 20th, from 1-5pm in Mann Assembly Room in Paterno Library.  This interactive, half-day workshop will uncover the essential components of student multimedia assignments. In a hands-on environment, attendees will explore:
  • Digital storytelling, including the use of a variety of authoring tools to create a video-based narrative
  • Appropriate, accessible pedagogy for multimedia course assignments
  • Student digital literacy acquisition in the multimedia creation process
  • Library research skills / finding digital resources online, including the use of streaming audio and video, images and more from the Penn State Libraries and open access collections
  • The essentials of Creative Commons, copyright issues and Fair Use

The intended audience is faculty, instructional designers, and anyone involved in designing, implementing, or supporting student digital media projects.
