Newspapers on Wikipedia "NOW" Project Edit-a-Thon

Want to help improve our digital information environments? Want to help combat misinformation on the web? Join the Newspapers-on-Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on October 26, 12pm – 4pm in the DLC Design Space. We will be researching and writing Wikipedia articles about historic (older than 30 years) local (CA) newspapers. By adding Wikipedia pages about these newspapers, we will be helping people to find reliable information about the news sources they see on the web.

"The Hybrid Experience" Hangout Viewing & Discussion

Creating a hybrid experience in educational settings is a growing trend that has been highlighted in multiple editions of the NMC Horizon Report. Hybrid learning, also referred to as blended learning, is the integration of both online and face-to-face modalities to create a cohesive learning experience with flexibility and support for learners. In this online event, panelists will explore how the hybrid approach is fostering independent learning and collaboration, as well as cultivating more channels of communication among students and instructors.
