Learning to Teach is a conference series for educators teaching in creative fields like computational art and design, creative technology, emerging media, and digital humanities, hosted by Integrated Digital Media (IDM) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. This year we find ourselves in a paradigm shift within teaching and learning as classes continue to be held remotely or in hybrid formats due to COVID-19.

Learning To Teach Creative Technologies Remotely: A Virtual UnSymposium on 22-23 Jan 2021 is an opportunity to participate in conversations on how to foster creativity and experimentation within this new teaching and learning landscape. In an UnSymposium format, we will get together and share what worked and didn’t work in our remote and hybrid classrooms this past year, as well as workshop opportunities and challenges for our pedagogy in the coming semester.

Session topics include:

Creative Coding
Physical Computing | IoT | Computational Fabrication
Beyond Zoom: Getting Weird with Teaching Online
Virtual Events (i.e. End of Semester Virtual Showcases, Exhibitions, and Performances)
Fostering Student and/or Colleague Engagement
K-12 Virtual Engagement
Undergraduate and Graduate Student Panels

You will find more details for the event on the UnSymposium website, https://wp.nyu.edu/ltt2021.

Our hashtag is #LTT2021 for Learning To Teach 2021.

A link to the online location will be emailed to you 24 hours before the event.

The event is free but donations are welcome. We suggest a donation of $10 from individuals or $50-$100 from institutional support which will benefit the SFPC (School for Poetic Computation).

Thank you for your time and consideration!
