The Digital Learning Book Club uses a blended online modality (synchronous via Zoom and asynchronous via Inscribe) to promote a learning community that cultivates reflection around digital learning topics such as inclusive pedagogy, online equity, and community & care. Reflective reading and discussion guides the application of content to current online technology trends and concerns. This is not a how-to workshop or technology demonstration, but rather a conversation around important online learning topics.
All UT staff and faculty are welcome, with no prior experience or knowledge necessary. We invite participants to join as learners and select their own level of engagement based on their preferences and availability. Please join when you can and read as you can!
