The goal of this presentation is to spark conversation, debate, and collaboration around digital, hybrid, and critical pedagogies. Discussions of online learning are crucial to non-traditional students, adult students, and lifelong learners. Rather than simply transplanting the Lego castle of education from one platform to another, from on-ground to online, we need to start dismantling it piece by piece, all the while examining the pieces and how they fit together. Only then can we reassemble the pieces thoughtfully inside the digital environment. The text of the presentation can be found at bit.ly/UWdigped

4. “Digital pedagogy is the use of electronic elements to
enhance or to change the experience of education.”
~ Brian Croxall and Adeline Koh
“collaboration, playfulness/tinkering, focus on
process, and building (very broadly defined).”

5. Digital pedagogy is not a path through the woods. It’s a compass
(one that often takes several people working in concert to use).

6. Praxis
Pedagogy is the place where philosophy and practice meet.

7. “Unless the mass of workers are to be blind cogs and pinions in the
apparatus they employ, they must have some understanding of the
physical and social facts behind and ahead of the material and
appliances with which they are dealing.”

8. We need to handle our technologies roughly -- to think critically
about our tools, how we use them, and who has access to them.

9. Confusing technological tools with digital pedagogy is
like sitting down to write an essay with pencil and paper
and becoming distracted by ruminations about the
nature of No. 2 pencils and looseleaf paper.

from one platform to another, from on-ground to online, we
need to start dismantling it piece by piece, all the while

13. all learning is necessarily hybrid

14. Hybrid pedagogy does not just describe an easy mixing of on-ground
and online learning, but is about bringing the sorts of learning that
happen in a physical place and the sorts of learning that happen in a
virtual place into a more engaged and dynamic conversation.

15. When we teach online, we have to build
both the course and the classroom.

16. “In the world of digitally networked publics, online participation -- if
you know how to do it -- can translate into real power. Participation,
however, is a kind of power that only works if you share it with others”
