[Air-L] Join our AoIR undergraduate teaching workshop on 30 October in Sheffield

[Emily van der Nagel]

There are still a limited number of places in our undergraduate teaching
workshop at the AoIR conference this October/November.

In the classroom (on campus or virtual), our students’ understandings of
social media and internet use don’t always align with broader press or
research narratives. Moreover, and in response to this year’s conference
topic, as the mission of universities becomes ever more vocation-focused,
our roles as educators often include preparing students for careers in
‘industry’. University marketing material highlights the career
opportunities for which undergraduates will be prepared, and there is a
push to include ‘industry experiences’ within degrees.

 This workshop brings educators together to discuss the difficulties and
joys of teaching in, on, and around the internet. What do we learn from our
students about the internet, how are we using the internet to teach, and
what’s the best way of bringing AoIR research into our classrooms?

This workshop will be held in-person in Sheffield, and registered
participants are able to contribute their thoughts via a shared Google Doc.
We will also allow a limited number of auditors to view the proceedings via
Zoom, with one off-site organizer managing the auditors and enabling their
participation as time allows.

To register for the workshop, please contact aoirconfchair at aoir.org, or
contact emily.vandernagel at monash.edu for any queries.
