709 - Embedded Archivists: Exploring New Depths in Teaching with Primary Sources

Saturday August 6, 2016 10:30am - 11:30am EDT

Room 206/207

Embedded instruction represents a new form of archival practice. Archivists embedded in semester-long courses from a range of institutions offer lightning talks on the challenges and rewards of their experiences, including collaboration with faculty; teaching courses, developing objectives, and lesson plans; student assessment; and digital humanities/scholarship projects. The purpose is to share advice with fellow practitioners interested in engaging in embedded instruction and to help prepare archivists as educators.
