Center for Teaching, Learning and Research

Join Ellen Prokop (The Frick Collection) and Carrie Anderson (HARC) in a discussion about how digital methods, including digital mapping and GIS, changed the ways they approached scholarship and teaching. They will share lessons learned from adapting multidisciplinary approaches (like GIS) to their work, collaborating with other scholars and students on digital projects, and what they wished they’d known before venturing into new digital territories. Lunch will be served, so please RSVP at http://sites.middlebury.edu/dla/event/digmethods/.

These interactive sessions will introduce faculty to the Canvas interface, navigation selections, and new features (like an aggregated calendar) to help them decide how to configure their Canvas sites to meet their needs. In addition, faculty already working on designing their sites can utilize the block as a work session where they can follow along, or work at their own pace with academic technology staff to help answer questions and explore new options.
