We found 6 results that contain "technology"

Computer is an advanced electronic device that takes raw data as an input from the user and processes it under the control of a set of instructions (called program), produces a result (output), and saves it for future use. This tutorial explains the foundational concepts of computer hardware, software, operating systems, peripherals, etc. along with how to get the most value and impact from computer technology.

This workshop explores strategies for providing feedback that enhances student learning while helping you manage grading time. Participants will learn how to deliver intentional, elaborative feedback and how to prioritize higher-order concerns in written assignments. The session will also introduce educational technology tools and assessment strategies designed to streamline the feedback process. By the end, attendees will walk away with practical techniques to support student growth without increasing workload.

Upon completion of this learning experience, participants will be able to:


describe the role of feedback in promoting student learning
explain the benefits of providing students with intentional, elaborative feedback on multiple-choice questions (MCQs)
differentiate between higher-order and lower-order concerns in feedback on assignments
identify assessment strategies and educational technology tools that assist in time management when providing feedback.

What is THATCamp?

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It is an unconference: an open, less formal meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot (From: http://thatcamp.org/about).

Who is THATCamp for?

This day-long, in person, fun, unconference is a fantastic opportunity for people on campus, whether formally a part of the DH@MSU community or not, to gather, learn from each other, and make connections to carry forward into the academic year. We welcome:


Members of the DH@MSU community, old and new
Students in the Digital Humanities undergraduate minor or graduate certificate, and students interested in the minor/certificate
Humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation
Anyone doing or interested in exploring work in the digital, especially (but not exclusively) in the areas of arts, humanities, and social sciences


Why THATCamp MSU?

DH@MSU is continuing our annual THATCamp each August targeted at MSU faculty, staff, and students for a few reasons:


To bring people back together after the summer
To introduce new folks to the DH@MSU community
Share knowledge, expertise, and skills among the community
Build connections between community members for future collaborations, troubleshooting, and ice cream social time.


THATCamp is FREE! Please register here.
