Composed of staff mostly from the Library and Technology & Innovation, these teams have specialists in different fields that can help you implement a new technique in the classroom or learn a new methodology for your research. Team titles roughly describe their expertise, but the examples of their current work may be a clearer picture of what they do. The team leader is bolded and listed first, and should serve as your first point of contact (though you are free to contact anyone listed in the team).

In no particular order, here are the teams:

Her keynote was titled: Ahead of the Class: Frugal Innovation and Translatable Skills.

While Jade talked about ways to bring digital work into the classroom that meet the learning needs of the students and don’t kill teachers, she really focused on larger issues of student agency over learning on the 21st century college campus.

Check out more from the 2018 Digital Pedagogy Lab on their website. Thanks to Virtually Connecting for bringing me into the DPL 2018 discussion.
