IGNITE Conference and Pre-conference Workshop at University of Applied Arts Vienna, Austria
We are excited to announce that the IGNITE conference event will be held in Vienna, Austria, March 24-26, 2020 https://ignite.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/conference-vienna/ Conference Description Sticky learning is a fairly new concept that promotes methods for teaching/training so that it is retained more effectively afterwards — hence the stickiness. This is clearly the goal of all learning activities, but with recent technology development and with the concept of Industry 4.0, stickiness has also become a concept for learning outcomes that persist beyond the individual course or degree. Teaching methods such as problem and project-based learning, active classrooms, and student-centred classrooms are teaching methods that promote sticky learning. These teaching methods can be explored within the wider frameworks of design thinking and maker culture as ways to teach a new generation of humanities and heritage students lifelong skills crucial to the creative and cultural industries, including user-centred design, citizen engagement, co-creation across sectors and on a larger scale, as well as ways for those in the humanities and heritage to take on and create solutions for global challenges. We know that such solutions will include new technologies, but also that they will rest on human and humanities knowledge for a sustainable (digital) transition of society. This conference seeks to explore these themes within the wider areas of education within the digital humanities, cultural studies, and the creative and cultural industries, both as part traditional educational curricula as well as lifelong learning. We welcome abstracts for long papers (20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions); short papers (10 minutes) and posters which address themes related to conference more generally, but which especially address: Sticky learning in teaching technology within a humanities setting Digital innovation in teaching and learning in the humanities Flipped classroom teaching Lifelong learning in the digital transformation for the heritage sector Design thinking for the humanities and heritage Maker Culture as new forms of meaning-making and knowledge creation Novel ways to teach technology at Masters level, including 3D modelling, augmented and virtual reality, digital storytelling, game jamming How do we prepare humanities students for a new labour market in the creative and cultural industries Abstracts should be c 300 words. Abstracts should be submitted via Google Form. There is no fee for this conference. It is underwritten by the Creative Media Europe Directorate of the European Union and the IGNITE project. There are a limited number of bursaries for presenters who also plan on attending both the conference as well as the pre-conference workshop. IGNITE Pre-conference Workshop— What: A Workshop exploring online, blended, & flipped classrooms for teaching new technologies to humanities studies and heritage professionals Where: University of Applied Arts, die Angewandte, Vordere Zollamtsstraße 7, 2nd Floor, A-1030 Vienna, Austria How: To apply, please register your interest via the Google Form Who: Educators in the digital arts and humanities, museum, library, and heritage studies, as well as heritage professionals responsible for training on an organizational, regional, or national level. When: 24 March 2020; applications will be accepted to 18 December 2019 Workshop Description A pre-conference, co-designed workshop will explore how we can integrate new modalities of teaching (online, blended and flipped classrooms) and enhance and empower humanities students to apply critical thinking through design and making. There is a myriad of new forms of knowledge creation engendered by the digital transition. It is crucial that humanities students are able to participate in the knowledge economy, not just by learning today’s technologies, but by being prepared to create new knowledge, processes, services, and products in formats and media that have yet to be invented. This workshop will explore how we can challenge the ways that education frameworks and knowledge institutions define humanities education, classrooms and curricula particularly at the postgraduate level. This workshop will also focus on ways to integrate alternative modalities of knowledge creation (team, project-and problem-based learning) to better prepare humanities graduates for a wide variety of roles both in and supporting the creative and cultural sector, from publishing, to GLAM institutions, to grant management. The workshop will be co-designed by participants and will centre around the challenges that participants bring, including: Integrating design thinking and making into the curriculum The challenges of teaching with online, blended, and flipped classrooms The institutional challenges of embedding alternative forms of knowledge creation into the curriculum Preparing humanities students for a new labour market in the creative and cultural industries Further directions for the IGNITE curriculum in meeting these challenges -- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ingeborg Reichle Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien / University of Applied Arts Vienna Abteilung Medientheorie / Media Theory Oskar Kokoschka Platz 2 1010 Wien, Austria www.medientheorie.ac.at -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
