Iowa Digital Engagement and Learning (IDEAL)
2013/2020
University of Iowa. Rhetoric Department
Iowa Digital Engagement and Learning (IDEAL) works with instructors to make classroom innovation easier and to improve outcomes for students. IDEAL projects ask students to engage with communities beyond the classroom by using digital technologies and creating work that endures beyond the end of the semester. Supported by the Provost’s Office and housed in the Rhetoric Department, IDEAL promotes hands-on learning through innovative assignments. IDEAL has a set of projects that can be integrated into an existing syllabus. These projects grow out of collaborations with such partners as the Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities to create podcasts of community leaders in Muscatine, the DIY History project in the University of Iowa's Libraries to digitally transcribe archival texts, and the Latham Science Engagement Initiative to allow undergraduate fellows in STEM fields an opportunity to hone their communication skills through individually-designed public engagement projects.
