Reflections on our inaugural Pedagogy Panel
Summary
Sarah shared reflections on Elevate from the perspective of a historian, discussing how she encourages a collaborative approach to primary sources. In the past, this collaboration has often happened via annotating print-outs or visiting archives, but has started to move more to digital means – and Sarah detailed how the pandemic was the catalyst for the adoption of Elevate. When teaching a cohort of 71 third-year undergraduate students, Anouk used Talis Elevate to track engagement across 6 policy report readings, worth 10% of the final grade. It was very useful to have Anouk explain how much preparatory work went into setting up the assignment, and it was also great to hear that students felt that it was a useful incentive to do the reading.
