ASK ME ANYTHING TODAY with Megan Kudzia - Digital Pedagogy/Research in Current Remote Moment

Megan Kudzia is a Digital Scholarship Librarian at Michigan State University. Based in the Library’s Digital Scholarship Lab, she works with faculty and library colleagues, particularly on designing digital assignments and embedding in classes, and also with students on their digital projects. She is professionally involved in DH@MSU, Code4Lib, ILiADS, and Mi-ALA.



This AMA is answering your questions about digital pedagogy and digital research. Rather than addressing the Core technologies we’re using in teaching online, today we’re grappling with the often-steep learning curve for tools and methods such as website building, coding generally, textual analysis, or digital mapping. If you are struggling with how to structure assignments geared toward this type of work due to our current inability to troubleshoot together in person, or if you are a learner struggling with feelings of frustration as you try to muddle through on your own, let’s talk! Ask me anything.
