THATCamp DHSoCal

THATCamp DHSoCal: Diving into Digital HumanitiesOctober 24th and 25th, 2014 San Diego State University

THATCamp is “The Humanities and Technology Camp,” and it is an “un-conference” meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot.

THATCamp DHSoCal: Diving into Digital Humanities will be held at San Diego State University, but it is organized through a unique digital humanities-style collaboration between 4 regional institutions: San Diego State University (SDSU), University of California at San Diego (UCSD), California State University at San Marcos (CSUSM), and University of San Diego (USD).

Visit http://dhsocal2014.thatcamp.org/ for more information and to register online. It is free and open to the public.

The spirit is inclusive, so, please send this email far and wide—to anyone (colleagues, students, friends) interested in learning about the digital humanities, getting involved in regional collaborations, and geeking out on the intersection between traditional humanities and digital technologies.

Join us to dive into the digital humanities!

Digital Pedagogy workshop for TAs

Ever wondered what digital pedagogy is? Want to know what it’s like to teach online?

Still image from the film, Her (2013).

Wonder no more.

On February 19th, 2014, join us for an introductory session on digital pedagogy.

We will introduce you to the LMS (Learning Management System) Canvas, and we'll show you some of the applications that make online teaching as good (and sometimes better) than face–2-face teaching. We’ll also discuss some of the best practices for online education in the physical classroom and in the virtual one.

Location: UC Riverside, Surge 170

Date and time: Wednesday February 19th, 2014. 4–6PM

This is the first of hopefully many sessions aimed at training graduate students (and anyone else) in digital pedagogies.
