Establishing a digital presence is becoming crucial for adapting to the teaching needs of a generation of digitally active students and learners.
In this workshop, we will brainstorm how to build a digital presence as an academic professional to be used for outstanding PowerPoint presentations, and online portfolios. We’ll expand our perspectives on digital platforms, color palettes, typography, and visual elements that effectively convey our identity as academics navigating a society of digital learners. By the end of the workshop, participants will be guided to build an online poster that communicates their developed digital presence.
