Dear Colleagues,

 

Join us on April 8th, 2019 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia for THATCamp @ X!

#THATCampX

 

The theme of our event will be Digital Pedagogies, with a focus on post-secondary instruction methods. We welcome students, teachers, librarians, and other professionals interested in this topic.

 

THATCamp stands for “The Humanities and Technology Camp.” It is an unconference: an open, inexpensive meeting where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn and build together in sessions proposed on the spot.

 

Our keynote, which is free and open to the public, will be by  Professor Bonnie Stewart (University of Windsor): “Digital Pedagogy in an Age of Algorithms: What do we DO about Data?.” 8 April, 3:45-5:00pm in the Desmond Hall (Coady West Building Rm 120, St Francis Xavier University).

 

THATCamp is:

• Collaborative: there are no spectators at a THATCamp. Everyone participates, including in the task of setting an agenda or program.
• Informal: there are no lengthy proposals, papers, presentations, or product demos. The emphasis is on productive, collegial work or free-form discussion.
• Spontaneous and timely, with the agenda / schedule / program being mostly or entirely created by all the participants during the first session of the first day, rather than weeks or months beforehand by a program committee.
• Productive: participants are encouraged to use session time to create, build, write, hack, and solve problems.
