Teaching with Technology Tuesdays returns next week recharged after its spring break hiatus with a session on designing digital assignments. We’ll discuss what professors, technologists, and librarians have to consider when designing assignments that involve digital media and technology:

• Determining course goals
• Selecting methods and activities to achieve those goals
• Ensuring students have the necessary resources and training
• Devising grading schemes and rubrics for assessing non-standard assignments

English Professor Jessica Pressman will share her experiences designing assignments for her courses “Digital Literature” and “Writing and New Media.” Ken Panko, Manager of the Instructional Technology Group, and Barbara Rockenbach, Director of Undergraduate & Library Research Education, will join Professor Pressman and describe how they assisted with her classes and others.
