Developing Public-Facing Digital Projects in the Undergraduate Humanities Classroom
Title: Digital Collaborative Learning to Empower and Engage Students in IAH CoursesPresenter: Kristen MapesFormat: Paper PresentationDate: May 10th, 2023Time: 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm Room: 3201Description:Undergraduate students in the Digital Humanities curriculum are given the “project” as the orienting point of evaluation and critique across multiple courses. While the introductory course challenges students to create a project of their own as individuals, the Seminar course is oriented around collaborative and ethical project management Over the semester, the class works as a group with the instructor to create three projects, with self-reflection essays following each project’s completion. Project work emphasizes iteration, effective communication, and process over product. Students from the Digital Humanities Seminar course will showcase the projects they created and will reflect on their learning experience. Each public-facing project focuses on different audiences, engaged distinct source material, and supported unique goals. Two of the projects worked with a non-profit organization (Monuments Men and Women Foundation) to showcase their material and create visibility for their work. For these projects, students met with the Foundation President to learn more about the organization and to ask questions that informed the project work. The students developed the project aims and final products independently in order to support the Foundation rather than upon the request of the Foundation (e.g. this was not a ‘client’ relationship). The third project gave students free reign to explore a topic on local MSU or Lansing/East Lansing history. This presentation will help faculty from across disciplines envision how they can implement project-based activities to promote student engagement and deep learning. Presenters will share avenues for instructors to learn about digital humanities methods and approaches to pedagogy if they would like to incorporate these methods into their own courses. There is opportunity in doing so, because when students create public-facing work as a team, they are empowered to participate in larger conversations in society.

What is digital accessibility?
Introduction
In any classroom, accessibility is important. Course content, materials, resources, and tools alike should be available and usable by all students. While educational technology has been around for decades, the quick shift to online learning following the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased awareness of the variety of ways digital tools and technologies can be used in the classroom. So, what does it mean to be accessible digitally?
Defining Digital Accessibility
Per Georgetown Law, digital accessibility can be defined as “the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, digital tools and technologies, by people with disabilities.” Digital accessibility is also influenced by the content of your course.

Digital Humanities did a great job with this Code of Conduct they drafted for an upcoming conference. Do you have a similar document? Have you found it useful to include these sorts of items within a given event or conference (or something that's more discipline-specific)? Digital Humanities also came up with a reporting form that accompanies this document. Let me know if you'd like to see that too!

Domains vs MSU Commons - Options for Developing a Professional Website
MSU faculty, staff, and students have the opportunity to create professional websites, as they develop their digital presence, as they create digital pedagogy and online learning materials, and in the organization of projects and professional activities. This simple graphic explains when MSU Domains (http://msu.domains) is the suitable place for this work, and when MSU Commons (https://commons.msu.edu) is the suitable place for this work.

MEGAN - when it comes to digital T&L or research (especially qual), I'm intimidated by what feels like a "missing" human component - the conversations and sometimes the emotions can get warped, misinterpreted, or even missed altogether... Do you have advice or experience with keeping the humanness in our online/digital work?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4HJZzwt3lY
If that piques you interest, the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities (CISAH) invites you to a workshop on how we can plan ahead in a productive way for the challenges and possibilities presented by generative artificial intelligence (AI). The session will provide concrete guidance for incorporating AI in pedagogically sound ways into our courses. Please bring an existing syllabus or assignment that you would like to modify during the session. Scott Schopieray and Caitlin Kirby of the Enhanced Digital Learning Initiative here at MSU will lead the discussion, which will be recorded for those who are unable to attend at the scheduled time.

3D Terrain Elevation Models for 3D Printing (Online)
Learn how to produce a 3D model of terrain elevation for printing on a 3D printer. We will learn about 3D models for 3D printing, digital elevation models (DEMs), where to find DEM data to create our printable export, and then use a plug in DEMto3D in the open source software QGIS to create a model. If time allows, basic tools for 3D model editing in Meshmixer or slicing software will be demonstrated.

Latine Voces Uncensored: Symposium on Latine Narratives
The digital age has brought us virtually (pun, intended) limitless access to information in the digital age. Despite this access, Latine communities continue to confront the challenges of rampant misinformation, censorship and misrepresentation—influencing how Latines are depicted in news coverage to popular culture to domestic and international policies that directly impact (and harm) our communities. Accurate Latine narratives and exposure to our histories are as important as ever. In this timely and important symposium, we address representation and free speech through the lens of Puerto Rican storytelling.
Hosted by Latino Spartans & MSU Chicanx/Latinx Association (ChiLA).
Note: The first half of this event will take place at the Multicultural Center. The Library portion will begin at 1:30 in the Green Room.
