Reed College, Portland, OR
For faculty, technologists, and librarians from Reed College and other participating colleges who are interested in learning how to find digital images in ARTstor, Flickr, and other collections and considering copyright issues associated with reusing such images. (5 program units. Liaisons' deadline:Friday, February 8, 2008)
Participants should come prepared to share and discuss their ideas about using images in teaching.
In our media-saturated culture, communication occurs just as much through images as through text. Visual imagery has been shown to help learners process information more efficiently than using words alone, and many students identify themselves as visual learners. The easy availability of digital images makes them a natural teaching tool, but what are the best ways to use them? This workshop will address issues related to teaching with images, such as visual learning style and the basics of reading and communicating with images. Participants will learn how to find digital images in ARTstor, Flickr, and other collections and will consider copyright issues associated with reusing such images. They will leave with the basic technology skills and knowledge to incorporate digital images from such sources into their own teaching materials.
This workshop is available through NITLE's Workshops-to-Go program, which delivers professional development opportunities for faculty and academic support staff directly to participating campuses. Workshops-to-Go focus on the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning. Contact your campus liaison to explore options for bringing a Workshop-to-Go to your campus. Liaisons may order Workshops-to-Go by contacting Rebecca Davis.
Interested faculty and staff from participating colleges: To participate in this workshop, please contact your campus liaison. Your campus liaison will select your campus's nominees and send their names to NITLE. Nominees will receive further information from NITLE about the registration process.
