Twenty-sixth International Conference on Learning

Abstract

Digital spaces can be utilized in a myriad of ways to engage students in learning how to engage and advance social issues in their chosen field of study. Technology allows faculty to develop innovative pedagogical strategies to foster a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of oppression and marginalization that exist. Furthermore, digital spaces provide the opportunity to expose students to simulated experiences, provide resources, and live feedback and consultation. In this discussion, participants will be introduced to some of the unique approaches faculty in three different disciplines maneuver digital spaces to help students foster critical self-awareness, manage personal values to engage in ethical praxis, and develop knowledge and skills to promote social justice in their respective fields of study.
