2015 Colloquium: Digital Writing Tools for Global Citizens
Dear Friends,
I’m happy to share some great news: thanks to the generous support of USF World at the University of South Florida, we will be webcasting Digital Writing Tools for Global Citizens on 1/16/15 (see agenda). To access the webcast on 1/16/15, go to http://netcast.usf.edu and then select The Live Feed Areas.
Program
This colloquium explores and celebrates the impacts that digital writing tools have on the act, study, teaching, and assessment of writing. We are especially curious to evaluate ways digital tools globalize writing pedagogy, research, practice, and literacies. As we look across programs, universities, and continents, we wonder how we can leverage the big data that is aggregated by some digital tools to measure the development and transfer of cognitive, intrapersonal, and interpersonal competencies.
Presentations
While the outcomes for our programs vary, we do share a focus on teaching students the digital tools they need to master in order to be effective global communicators. Moreover, we share a commitment to re-imagine effective teaching and assessment practices.
