Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies

Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies: A Guide to New Theories, Methods, and Practices for Open Peer Teaching and Learning is intended to assist anyone embarking on open teaching. It offers foundational methods, examples, and explanatory theories for how to set up the practices of a class, how to determine guiding principles, how to theorize what you are doing in the classroom, how to design the class, how to include multimedia elements and approaches such as games, and how to ensure that you have designed a class for inclusion, not exclusion. Finally, the openness of the learning should continue even after the book is published/goes public, and the chapters in the “Invitations” section offer advice on how to extend your open practices to the world beyond the classroom. This is by no means the only way to set up peer-to-peer teaching, but it is an account of the way we have done it, with as much detail as possible to encourage others to try, in whatever way suits their community and purposes.
This book was written collaboratively over the course of the winter semester 2013 by graduate students and PhD Lab Scholars at Duke University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University who enrolled in a course taught by Prof Cathy N. Davidson and offered by Duke’s English Department and its Program in Information Science + Information Studies. You can follow us on Twitter by searching for the course hashtag, #Duke21C.”
