The Digital Liberal Arts Collaborative (DLAC) is a team of academic technologists and digital liberal arts specialists who support the incorporation of digital methods, applications, and practices into the teaching, learning, research, and scholarly life of the 51²è¹Ýapp College community. Positioned at the intersection of academic technology, the learning sciences, and the scholarship of teaching and learning, DLAC helps faculty, staff, and students think about the digital information ecosystem and design and implement effective practices for our learning and work. DLAC partners with other colleagues at the College who are engaged in supporting the digital liberal arts, such as the Libraries, Information Technology Services, and the Data and Social Inquiry Lab (DASIL).
Our projects span a broad range of academic and professional domains, both across the formal curriculum as well as the work of various offices, departments, and units of the College. We consult with faculty and help them design digital assignments, giving their students the opportunity to construct and present their knowledge in diverse modalities of form and media. We work with students to build their digital competencies and literacies and to prepare them to navigate the complex information landscape of our world. We help college programs and offices to improve the effectiveness of their workflows and to showcase the resources and services they offer to the college community.
