The Digital Agora Project
1996-2000
This is an article written by the 3 founding professors of the Digital Agora project. I was proud to work under them. At the cusp of the incorporation of technology into the classroom in the mid-90s at Acadia University, they were pioneers in bringing STEM into the social sciences. This is where my interest in STEM and pedagogy began.
This continues to be one of my favourite working experiences. It was a very exciting time for STEM being used more in the university classroom. Acadia University was at the forefront of this movement. I was a valued member of the curriculum design team for the Digital Agora, a broad base of tools and software designed for improving the quality of the educational experience of students in the social sciences using cross-disciplinary approaches and new media technologies. This involved the design of an collaborative online newspaper, a cultural resource gallery, a large database of media resources and country profiles, individualized course pages, a symbol data bank, an online glossary, and the creation of thousands of unique presentation CD-ROMs using the concept of “lateral mapping” developed by the Digital Agora’s co-founders.
