Lit fest is superstructure because superstructure is consist of educational and cultural institutions and lit fest is also cultural and educational instruction. It is ‘emergent culture’ because it creates new practices.

CfE Broad General Education Conference - What digital skills do learners need...Ollie Bray
Ollie Bray's workshop presentation on Digital Skills required for learners to access a broad general education.
Presentation made on the 21sy June 2011.
Slides for #s155 #mla17 Curating Digital Pedagogy. This session addresses the shifting definitions of digital pedagogy by focusing on some of the important practices that help define it. Each participant presents sample teaching materials related to a particular aspect of digital pedagogy before discussing how open digital publishing has revolutionized pedagogy through broad sharing, reusing, and hacking of digital assignments.
1.Discussion postFor the AlbionsSeed, you will find a chapter.docxpaynetawnya
1.
Discussion post:
For the AlbionsSeed, you will find a chapter of David Hackett Fisher's landmark study of colonial America, Albion's Seed. Fisher . . . "traces the migration of cultures from four distinct regions of the British Isles and explains how each imparted its own distinctive character to the portion of America they made their own."
The AlbionsSeed excerpt focuses on the ways that these four different waves have influenced America's multi-varied cultural concept of "liberty," certainly a necessary path of inquiry to anyone interested in American culture then and now.
Discussion Board Post:
Looking at the different explanations of the idea of "liberty," which one do you think was most important to early European settlers of the colonies? Explain why.
Which category do you think is closest to your own idea of liberty? Do you think that your definition of the word is one still commonly held in our culture? Describe how it is differs from Fisher's categories.
250 words.
2. (make sure write where is this quote from into beginning of explanation) (you can find a quote from reading in first assignment).
Students will choose a short excerpt / quote from one of the readings of that week, type it in, then add a short (150 words or so) explanation for your choice. Was your selection important because it:
1. is an example of beautiful or striking language?
1. exemplifies a particular theme or character?
1. makes the reader think about something in a new way?
1. reflects a particular aspect of French culture?
1. was just something that you liked?
For example:
"Whoever gets knowledge from God, science,
and a talent for speech, eloquence,
Shouldn't shut up or hide away;
No, that person should gladly display." Marie de France
explanation:
In the opening lines to the Prologue to the Lays, Marie de France is providing her readers with an explanation for writing these stories down. This is a very common and traditional rhetorical move informing readers about the ethos or qualifications of the speaker. In this case, Marie is claiming that she is knowledgeable and eloquent and that these gifts come from God and therefore should be used. I think it goes further than that; Marie, like most women of her day,* would have been expected to "shut up" and "hide away" as a matter of course, since women's voices were not welcomed in the public sphere. By opening her work in this way, she preempts criticism about the appropriateness of her authorship.

The African American culture as displayed by the fine arts, photog.docxmattinsonjanel
The African American culture as displayed by the fine arts, photographs, costumes as well as memorabilia shows the level of contribution of African Americans in history of the United States of America (Widman, 2011). The Philadelphia museum’s exhibits describes the story of the African Americans and the roles they played in shaping the politics, sports, family life as well as entertainment. These arts are a symbolic version of the contribution of African Americans and their experiences in the United States of America.
Some of the works we see in the Philadelphia Art Museum are William Edmondson sculptures of the serene angles and the hungry squirrel are symbolic pieces and they stem from a very familiar book which is the bible. His sculptures are curved out of stone and the hungry squirrel and the serene angel are a very sticking work of the self taught artist, one of the incredible animals and figures carved by the sculptor. The former slave was spiritual and developed his talent by carving small sculptures since he could not afford the large stones.
The African American culture sometimes referred to as the black culture is an integral part of the American culture. Albeit, slavery had a great impact on African Americans with respect to self-expression in terms of cultural beliefs and values, most cultural practices survived and that has blended with the American culture over time. Following the perpetual racial discrimination in the United States of America, the African American culture for a very long time existed separately. However, despite the fact that the African American culture forms part of the American culture, it remains distinct and the generations of the African American still maintain African traditions.
Regardless of the perpetual attempts by the slave owners and the American repressive regime to strip off the African Americans from their cultural traditions, African American culture as shown by the exhibits at the museum in Philadelphia, depicts the nature of Africans’ loyalty in embracing their culture amidst oppression. The impact of African American movements and anti-slavery protests played a great role in strengthening their cultural belief and values.
The museum in Philadelphia opened in 1976, currently comprises four galleries and an auditorium each supported by the following themes: the Philadelphia story, African Diaspora and Contemporary Narrative. The African American culture, presently part of the American culture has impacted the economic, political and social behaviors of both Americans and Black Americans.
When Horace Pippin started working on the painting The end of the war: Starting home fifteen years after the he had returned from serving in France World War 1 to the United states. His right arm was wounded while fighting while in the fight to see combat as a member of one of the four African American regiments. He began painting to aid in his recovery process.

Educating Problem-Solvers for Our Emerging Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
What skills, abilities, and habits of mind do today’s graduates need to navigate and solve complex problems in a constantly changing, globally-connected world? How can we integrate digital skills in support of critical thinking and inquiry across the curriculum? The future of higher education depends upon a model of digitally-informed learning that is not merely content delivery online but rather is education reshaped in the same ways that digital technologies have already fundamentally changed our culture. This talk will present a vision for building an integrated curriculum that fosters self-directed, digitally-augmented problem-solving from introductory to capstone level courses and prepares graduates to partner with technology to solve problems.

High-Impact Educational Practices in the Online Classroom?Rebecca Davis
In 2014, 28% of students took a distance course, with the majority of those (67%) attending public institutions and 35% at public two-year institutions. While online learning promises to improve access, it often seems incompatible with high-impact practices (HIPs) that benefit low income and underserved students. Panelists, drawing on personal experience teaching online and the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) Online Humanities Consortia, Open Learning: A Connectivist MOOC for Faculty Collaboratives in the state of Virginia, and Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments, will discuss opportunities and strategies for HIPs, including writing-intensive courses, collaborative assignments, undergraduate research, diversity/global learning, service learning, and capstone courses, in an online setting. Small groups will explore models, discuss challenges of implementation, and consider institutional strategies to address those challenges.

Community-Engaged Signature Work in the Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
What skills, abilities, and habits of mind do today’s graduates need for their careers and to solve complex problems in a constantly changing, globally-connected world? How do we integrate liberal education and authentic learning experiences with our digitally-networked context? What does community-engagement look like in a virtual community? In this session participants will consider case-studies of technology-enhanced community-engaged learning drawn from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments (co-edited by the session leader) with a focus on digital pedagogy keywords such as, Community, Digital-Divides, Fieldwork, Public, Race, and Social Justice. Participants will develop a curriculum that scaffolds self-directed digitally-augmented problem-solving from introductory to capstone level courses. Participants will explore innovative pedagogies, interrogate effective models for integrating authentic learning opportunities shaped by digital tools and resources at all levels, and work collaboratively to develop a toolkit and to-do list for encouraging this type of learning on their own campus.
New Faculty Roles in the Emerging Digital EcosystemRebecca Davis
If all information is available online and the best professors are giving their lectures away for free, do we really need so many faculty members? This questioning underlines our need to redefine the faculty role in a way that advances the goals of liberal education. Rather than merely being repositories of content knowledge, faculty must help students progress along the path to mastering life-long learning. Terminal degrees indicate not only content expertise, but also the transferable learning skills of a master-learner, including synthesis, analysis, evaluation, and creativity. The key faculty roles, then, are mentoring and modeling learning, collaborating with students as they build learning networks, and helping students learn to self-evaluate as they develop the agency to become life-long learners. This session will explore alternate models for understanding the faculty role drawn from digital learning models and strategies for promoting that role at the individual, departmental, and institutional level. It will also examine the role of contingent faculty in this ecosystem. Participants will collaboratively create a toolkit for redefining faculty roles on their own campus.

2015 Annual Meeting: Liberal Education, Global Flourishing, and the Equity Imperative
How does the emerging digital environment shape the life cycle of students’ signature work in the 21st century? Digital technology has changed the learning ecosystem, and the future of liberal education depends upon an integrative vision of learning that is not merely advanced by digital tools, but reshaped in the same ways that digital learning has already fundamentally changed our culture. In this forum, we will explore what a synthesis of liberal education and connected learning can look like through the lens of signature work and the possibilities that the digital opens up at each stage of this work.

2. Guiding Question
What is at stake in using,
producing and presenting
archival materials in various
media forms at an
undergraduate level?
3. Relevant Digital Collections
• ECCO (Eighteenth-Century Collections Online)
• 17th-18th Century Burney Coll. Newspapers
• Early American Imprints
• American Periodicals Series
• ARTstor
• EEBO (Early English Books Online)
4. Integrating Historical Digital
Collections into the Curriculum
• Institutional economic imperatives
• Fostering the student as scholar
• Enabling original research that moves beyond
a set syllabus
5. Importance of Prep Work
• Understanding search terms
(‘ribbon’/’ribband’) (‘wig’/’periwig’)
• Discovering how database organization
produces assumptions and knowledge
9. Crucial components
• Multi-directional navigation
• Balance between user- and architect-driven
modes of reading
• Multi-media forms
• Interdisciplinary texts
• Student work as progress versus product
• Projects that open out into the public sphere
10. Examples from Student Archives
What follows are screen shots from various
points in student digital archives. In the “real”
thing, all links are live (and many are invisible

11. Hermit Literature in Early America
MAIN MENU
This archive attempts to present and analyze
various accounts of the hermit in eighteenth and
early nineteenth-century America through the
following lenses:
Accounts written about (or by) a real
hermit, in which the hermit often becomes
a sort of social and/or political
commentator
Poetic and fictional representations of the
hermit, in which he becomes a romantic,
fantastical, or idealized literary figure
These categories, which separate hermit
documents into those constructed by a writer’s
imagination and those modeled after real hermits,
work together to reveal the American hermit as a
figure that reflects and refashions emerging
thematic and rhetorical markers of a new American
identity.
Annie Reading, December 2010

15. Prior to the ratification of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776,
many American colonists had been engaged in political discussions and
disputes regarding the taxable status of essential food items. Indeed, due to
the successive English parliamentary acts that imposed tariffs on molasses,
sugar, and tea, the colonists had become conscious of the social implications
and political connotations of food. Although the Declaration of
Independence and the following Revolutionary War effectively ended
England’s egregious political control over the American diet, remnants of
English culture still permeated the culinary landscape of America; though the
American colonies successfully achieved political independence, they still
remained culturally attached to England. Consequently, situated within this
revolutionary context, this archive endeavors to conceptualize the changing
relationship between England and America by examining the changing
culinary landscape as depicted in popular domestic guides and cookbooks;
through the juxtaposition and purposeful ordering of British and American
documents, this archive traces a second revolution. (Gregory Toy, Fall 2010)
16. “Most of the American fruits are extremely odoriferous, and therefore
are very disgusting at first to us Europeans: on the contrary, our fruits
appear insipid to them, for want of odour.”

19. Student as Amateur
Archivist/Scholar
• Archival materials as fodder for original thesis
work and beyond
• Cultural literacy (students look to all
collections Google Books, iTunes, museum
displays) with an eye to arrangement and
exclusion
• Next steps: students can become involved in
larger international projects for “real” online
archives and annotational work.
20. Outcomes
• Open out the syllabus to cultural materials
• Opportunities for undergraduates to produce
genuinely new knowledge
• Projects that move beyond the boundaries of
the classroom
• Projects that encourage the reader/user to
roam freely, but within the constraints of an
archival argument
