Here's an opportunity for Fellows in New York. (FYI- The Visual Knowledge
Project may be new to many of you. It is directed by Randy Bass, who provides
our institutes with a wonderful keynote and much food for thought for the
week.)

"Learning to Look: New Media, Visual Resources, and Humanities
Education" at The Graduate Center, CUNY
June 10-14, 2001
hosted by City University of New York Faculty Development Program and
the American Social History Project,
The Graduate Center of the City University of New York and the
American Social History Project will host one of nine regional summer
seminars sponsored by the National Endowment of the Humanities for
the development of multimedia instruction in the humanities
classroom. The program at the Graduate Center includes a five-day
institute (beginning Sunday afternoon June 10 until Thursday June
14), a year-long online seminar, and follow-up meetings focusing on
the successful implementation of new media-based instruction. The
institute will be lead by David Jaffee, Department of History, City
College of New York and Graduate Center, and Sue Luftschein,
Department of Liberal Studies, Parsons School of Design/New School
University
2001 Summer Institute
The theme "Learning to Look" addresses the expanding yet largely
unevaluated realm of visual materials available on the World Wide
Web. In the last five years, pictorial archival resources have
expanded exponentially over the Web, from colonial broadsides to
contemporary photojournalism. We are interested in enhancing the use
of visual materials in teaching across the humanities and learning
about the past as well as advance the critical viewing skills of
students in history and humanities classrooms. =93Learning to Look=94
will help humanities educators in colleges and universities,
secondary schools, and museums and public institutions develop
effective strategies for using visual documents in the fine arts,
material culture, and popular culture.
The Institute will be located at the CUNY Graduate Center, providing
participants with access to leading digital humanities projects such
as the American Social History Project, the New Media Lab, and the
Visible Knowledge Project; innovative new media programs focusing on
the visualization of the past, including The Lost Museum, Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity, and History Matters; and new media producers
and classroom practitioners with a decade of experience creating and
applying Web-based and CD-ROM programming.
Participants will discuss new scholarship, examine new media
resources, develop strategies for classroom implementation, and
discuss individual and institutional implications of incorporating
new technologies. Sessions will include:
-- presentations -- surveys and demonstrations of available
media resources
-- hands-on activities using websites and CD-ROM resources
-- time for collaborative curriculum planning
-- work with scholars and educators who have been pioneers in
developing new media applications
-- discussions on advancing critical viewing skills in the
humanities classroom
2001-2002 Year-Long Faculty Development Program
Our collaborative exploration of "teaching with technology" will
extend through the academic year via a year-long follow-up program
that will engage participants in sustained and systematic assessment
of efforts to incorporate new media resources into their classrooms
and sites.
-- demonstrations of innovative classroom practices using
humanities teaching resources available on CD-ROM and the World Wide
Web;
--participation in an on-line seminar;
--follow-up seminars, focusing on the successful implementation
of new media-based instruction (two each semester).
