Talk Session Proposal by Jennifer Ahern-Dodson and Aria Chernik

Digital pedagogy does not denote merely the practice of “teaching with technology.” Similar to Jesse Stommel’s notion of hybrid pedagogy, we understand digital pedagogy to be an orientation toward sustained, critical reflection on how emergent technology and digital culture fundamentally transform not only where we teach and learn but also the kinds of knowledge we can produce. Digital pedagogy embraces the freeplay and indeterminacy of intellectual rigor and is not defined by the use of discrete classroom practices or digital tools. We propose a session in which participants articulate the affordances of digital pedagogy and knowledge and strategize about how we can productively reach out to colleagues and promote institutional change to embrace and facilitate these affordances.

From Data to Art: Getting Artistic with Data
Markus Wust, Digital Collections and Preservation Librarian, North Carolina State University Libraries
Before 3pm

Like Angela’s data visualization proposal, this session would also be about data and how they can be transformed. However, in this case, the transformation is not meant to facilitate the interpretation and analysis of these data, but rather to create art, such as music, visual art, or poetry out of any kind of data (scientific data sets, usage logs, etc.). I would like to talk with you about possible approaches and collaborations and show some current and upcoming projects at Hunt Library.

Best,
Markus
