Transformative Practices in Higher Education: Promoting Data Literacy, Collaboration, and Criticality Online

Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Amidst efforts to make the public university open and accessible to a wider range of students through increasing offerings of online courses, our team presents four papers that show how online courses, often seen as passive, asynchronous, and solitary spaces, can be generative, engaging, and collaborative. Drawing on the results of a multi-stakeholder partnership among researchers, educators, and engineers, and exploring multiple data sources, such as students’ multimodal artifacts, backend click data, and end-of-term evaluations, we address topics at the heart of efforts to reconceive online learning, such as how can online courses be designed to develop students’ critical sensibilities, what data literacies are required in today’s digital world, and how can we teach them?
