The
Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities and the University of Applied Arts are pleased to invite applicants to apply for the
IGNITE Conference and Pre-conference Workshop.Sticky learning is a fairly new concept that promotes methods
for teaching/training so that it is retained more effectively afterwards—hence the stickiness. This is clearly the goal of
all learning activities, but with recent technology development and with the concept of Industry 4.0, stickiness has also
become a concept for learning outcomes that persist beyond the individual course or degree. Teaching methods such as problem
and project-based learning, active classrooms, and student-centred classrooms are teaching methods that promote sticky learning.
These teaching methods can be explored within the wider frameworks of design thinking and maker culture as ways to
teach a new generation of humanities and heritage students lifelong skills crucial to the creative and cultural industries,
including user-centred design, citizen engagement, co-creation across sectors and on a larger scale, as well as ways for those
in the humanities and heritage to take on and create solutions for global challenges. We know that such solutions will include
new technologies, but also that they will rest on human and humanities knowledge for a sustainable (digital) transition of
society.
This conference seeks to explore these themes within the wider areas of education within the digital humanities,
cultural studies, and the creative and cultural industries, both as part traditional educational curricula as well as lifelong
learning.
IGNITE Conference especially addresses the following subjects:
– Sticky learning
in teaching technology within a humanities setting
– Digital innovation in teaching and learning in
the humanities
– Flipped classroom teaching
– Lifelong learning in the digital
transformation for the heritage sector
– Design thinking for the humanities and heritage
–
Maker Culture as new forms of meaning-making and knowledge creation
– Novel ways to teach technology
at Masters level, including 3D modelling, augmented and virtual reality, digital storytelling, game jamming
