CDSC Summer Fellows 2016 Showcase

Summer Fellows Showcase

This past summer the CDSC sponsored its first three fellowship projects at the WSU Pullman campus. The six-week summer fellowships offer faculty and graduate students project planning assistance along with technical training for projects that use digital tools, technologies, or platforms to develop research and teaching agendas. The Summer 2016 Fellows were selected from a competitive pool of applicants to pursue projects oriented toward developing digital pedagogy and online teaching resources.

We will showcase their work at the CDSC with a public unveiling of their projects starting at 3:30pm Tuesday, September 20th. Reception to follow.

Digital Literacy: Navigating the Library

Digital Literacy Workshops
