An "Active Learning" Kit: Rationale, Methods, Models, Research, Bibliography

By Cathy Davidson. I’m often asked why I start with pedagogy, given the larger, far-reaching institutional reforms and social ambitions that The New Education, HASTAC, and the new Futures Initiative program all advocate. My answer is simple and pragmatic: If your personal goal is equality in a world where inequality is structural and violent and pervasive, you can at least start with your classroom as a place in which to model a better way.

10 (Even More Basic) Things We Did With Laptops In Class Instead of Banning Them

By Cathy Davidson. In a quite beautiful response to the recent New York Times op ed about why laptops should be "banned" in every classroom, Mark Sample, who teaches "Introduction to Digital Studies," compiled a list of "Ten Things We Did With Laptops In Class Instead of Banning Them."

This Is How We Change the World

By Cathy Davidson. Every day, since the Sept 5 publication of The New Education, I have received 5-10 emails from people who are changing their universities-- or are hoping to do so. In the latter group, a comment I'm asked often asked is: "How can you be such an optimist? How can you believe higher education can change?" And then often, more personally, they ask: "How can we do this? What are the steps? Can you help us?". More...

Getting Started on a Course Using Radical Pedagogy: #MLA18 Pres Plenary Follow Up

By Cathy Davidson. These inventory/sampling/Total Participation methods and tactics immediately change the classroom from a place where equality and total participation are rewarded and nourished and "educated" (we learn how to speak, how to have a voice, how to collaborate across differences); in the conventional classroom, inequality is structured.

What I Wish I Knew When I Started Doing Active Learning

By Cathy Davidson. For well over a decade, I've been studying the science of learning, cognitive neuroscience, research on memory, and studies of pedagogy as well as reading everything I can get my hands on having to do with techniques and methods for meaningful, engaged classrooms.

Black Listed Syllabus

By Cathy Davidson. This course examines the inter-relationship between the Cold War, the early Civil Rights movement, and the writing and censorship of African American writers from the mid-1940s to the early 1960s, with an emphasis on the McCarthy Era. By looking at a range of literary and theoretical texts, we will work to understand the relationship between a range of legal, political, and social conditions and the forms of Black protest and expression at that time.

The (Open) Online Tools We Use--and Why You Should Too!

By Cathy Davidson. What's the point of using online tools if your goal is a student-led, engaged learning course? Tech for the sake of tech is ludicrous, expensive, and exploitative. For me, the only reason to use a digital tool is to do something that would be impossible or difficult without it. In our course, we use digital tools to facilitate interactions outside of the classroom that are student-to-student rather than one-way communication through the prof. Another purpose is to make as much of our knowledge a public contribution as possible. More...
