Description

Welcome to Digital Intro where we are transforming introductory courses into active, project-based experiences. Our projects expose students to a wide range of digital skills as they learn traditional disciplinary content. Within our digital “Introduction to Psychology” course, students explore concepts and content in the field of psychology through video storytelling, programming, data visualization, web development, design and more. This novel curriculum solidifies new content knowledge, exposes students to modern digital tools and provides the opportunity to create tangible learning artifacts.

Digital Intro http://digitalintro.wescreates.wesleyan.edu/, part of the NSF-funded Passion-Driven Statistics https://passiondrivenstatistics.com/ initiative is working to connect disciplinary content with modern digital skills through project-based learning. Check out the video syllabus https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFACQQDHiBabPcRJIenRNBw,  and the current series of digital projects http://digitalintro.wescreates.wesleyan.edu/projects/ aimed at empowering students to investigate for insight, teach to learn, advocate for influence, design for change, and make learning stick!

For those wanting simply to flip their classroom, here are our video lessons. https://digitalintro.wescreates.wesleyan.edu/video/.

With the goal of promoting genuine equity and inclusion, we are 100% committed to Open Educational Resources (OER) both in the content provided and in the contributions that the digital intro community will make. We are excited to share current resources and hope to have many more on the way! You are welcome and encouraged to share these materials widely. Reach out if you are interested in collaborating! ldierker@wesleyan.edu   

We will provide updates through the Passion-Driven Statistics Community page on LinkedIn. Please join us there.  https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8562708/
