2022 Digital Pedagogy Institute (DPI2022)

The DPI2022 Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 8’th annual Digital Pedagogy Institute conference will be taking place virtually on August 9th and 10th, 2022. A partnership between Brock University, Ryerson University (renaming in progress), the University of Toronto Scarborough Library and the University of Waterloo, the two-day online conference will feature keynote addresses, presentations, workshops, and digital tools training. DPI2022 serves as a meaningful professional development opportunity to learn more about the innovative use of digital technologies for the enhancement and transformation of undergraduate and graduate teaching and learning.

Plenary Speakers

This year, we will be welcoming Dr. Roopika Risam and Dr. Aimée Morrison as our plenary speakers.


Dr. Roopika Risam is the Chair of Secondary and Higher Education and Associate Professor of Education and English at Salem State University, and has authored New Digital Worlds: Postcolonial Digital Humanities in Theory, Praxis, and Pedagogy (2018), and has co-edited numerous volumes, most recently The Digital Black Atlantic (2021). She is also the co-editor for Reviews in Digital Humanities, and the co-founder of Reanimate, an intersectional feminist publishing collective.


Dr. Aimée Morrison is an Associate Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Waterloo, where she teaches and researches the interaction between personal and group identity, cultural formations, and media technologies, particularly through everyday social media practices. She co-hosts the All The Things ADHD podcast with Lee Skallerup Bessette, and was a founding co-editor of the feminist academic blog Hook & Eye.

Call for Proposals

DPI2022’s Call for Proposals is now open. At this year’s Digital Pedagogy Institute (DPI), our goal is to create a virtual space that allows participants to explore diverse approaches to digital pedagogy from a variety of perspectives, including those of undergraduate/graduate students, faculty, librarians, educational developers, and technologists.

Themes

While broadly focused on Digital Pedagogy, the conference themes include:

  *   digital pedagogy best practices across all disciplines
  *   digital pedagogy collaborations between faculty, educational developers and technologists, librarians, and/or graduate/undergraduate students;
  *   digital pedagogy collaborations with organizations outside the academy;
  *   the state of digital pedagogy education in higher education;
  *   digital pedagogy case studies, including course and assignment innovations;
  *   innovative new uses for traditional digital pedagogy tools.

Streams

a.            Critical Ideologies and Digital Pedagogy: How do we question and challenge dominant beliefs and practices in the field of Digital Pedagogy? What underlying approaches and questions should we engage with more deeply? How can our pedagogical practices help support new educational priorities and social change?



  1.  Digital (de)colonialism: How have digital pedagogy techniques and tools helped instructors and students address anti-racist and decolonization practices in their curriculum and research? What are the challenges and opportunities? Do you have any best practices to share?



  1.  Inclusivity, Accessibility, and Digital Pedagogy: Issues related to inclusivity and accessibility are at the forefront of Digital Pedagogy. What barriers have you encountered in your research and practice? How have you resolved them? What barriers remain? This is an opportunity to reflect on and share frameworks and best practices that have helped to reduce pedagogical barriers and integrate digital pedagogy approaches.



  1.  Sustainability, renewability, and environmental costs in the digital sphere: Digital pedagogy is not immune to environmental critique. There are environmental impacts associated with generating the power and equipment needed to support digital initiatives. How should we reconcile the benefits of digital pedagogy with its environmental costs? Can digital pedagogy proponents be good environmental stewards?

Formats

Presentations - 20 minute synchronous sessions presenting papers or presentations on projects, initiatives, and/or case studies related to one of the conference streams, with time for Q&A.

Tool demos/workshops - 30 minute demonstrations of innovative or new tools that you have integrated or are thinking of integrating into your pedagogical approach.
