Supporting NYU’s Digital Humanities Community
Digital Scholarship Services (DSS), a department within NYU Libraries began in December 2014. One of our strategic goals for AY2015 was to foster a campus community around digital humanities teach and research. We achieved this in 3 ways
– Polonsky Event Series
– Consultations
– Omeka Pilot
Our poster will describe each of these three initiatives and how they helped foster a digital humanities community of practice at NYU.
The Pre-registration Tutorial is an online, interactive program highlighting the conceptual and technical aspects of the first-year registration process. It is a collaborative, intra-departmental project, developed by the Academic Advisement Center (AAC) and Faculty Innovations Teaching and Learning Center (FITL).

Swivl Role Play: Documenting Clinical Practice in Groups
This would be a presentation of the plan we have for the students’ final role play assignment in Professor Mary McKay’s course, Clinical Practice with Groups. We could set up the Swivl and give a demonstration of how the students will use it in conjunction with VoiceThread.

Rolling out Tisch New Website – Challenge and Opportunity
Tisch School of the Arts has launched a new redesigned website since our first website went online more than 10 years ago. In this live presentation, we will give the audience an overview on our design motivation, voice and tone selection, architecture construction, multimedia and social media integration, mobile device support, selective content delivery, user and content management, and search engine optimization throughout this massive project.

Evolution of an Online Course
This project transformed a lecture format course into a fully-online asynchronous and synchronous course. The poster provides a few interactive diagrams and animations as examples from the course to demonstrate new ways to present instructional content beyond lecture with powerpoint slides.
Polytechnic School of Engineering – Center for Faculty Innovations in Teaching & Learning
Online Content Packs at the School of Engineering
The FITL Center partners with faculty and staff at the School of Engineering to support their use of innovative teaching methods and instructional technology.
In 2015, we are working with several different groups at SOE to develop Content Packs, short online modules that deliver engaging multimedia content to students via NYU Classes. Our presentation introduces the concept of these modules, and then explores their evolution from flipping elements of the New Student Orientation process to their future in academic course supplements and faculty training opportunities.
Steinhardt Technology Services
Steinhardt Technology Services Bridging the Gap Between Information and Academic Technology
In order to adapt to the changing landscape of technology at New York University, Steinhardt Technology Services had to make several strategic choices that preserved the operational effectiveness of Information Technology, while increasing bolstering Academic Technology services. In doing so, Steinhardt Technology Services has gone from a traditional desktop support service to a one-stop-shop for any, academic or information, technology need for the Steinhardt Community. In this poster, Steinhardt Technology Services will share their rationale behind some of the changes that were made while also discussing some of the challenges that the team will face moving forward.
