The Digital Creativity Syllabus

The Digital Creativity Syllabus April O'Brien - Clemson University - @aprilobrien412

Starting with student work...

What is a digital creativity syllabus?

Technology is not an after-effect.

Recognizes that students need to develop a variety of skills beyond one mode of writing.

Believes that ALL students are creative.

What is the exigency?

How far will traditional logic get our students?
21st-Century skills include writing a webtext, creating a social media campaign, and being able to communicate through podcasts.
Our students need agency.

Let's compare and contrast an assignment:

Visual rhetorical analysis
Make a video
Giving students agency through technology and creativity

What if we re/think the academic argument paper?
