Examples of possible projects include data mining of online student behavior; studies of student motivation with online environments; tracking organizational changes at Vanderbilt as a result of the Institute itself; researching a history of selected digital learning technologies such as mobile devices, and investigating societal implications of the technology; preparing, posting, and evaluating original educational online material on a selected topic, and placing it in the web of existing material in that area; characterizing and researching worst-case analyses of peer assessment strategies, rather than (simply) average-case analyses. Grad fellows will also learn about the many aspects of creating and evaluating digital learning content.<\/p>\n<p>Expectations: VIDL Graduate Fellows will document their workflows and other activities for the benefit of others &#8212; on blogs and as documents and multimedia posted the VIDL Web site, Youtube, and elsewhere. We require a weekly commitment to work on the project; meet with VIDL staff; provide progress updates; and contribute to scholarship through public presentations, conferences, journals, or other venues.<\/p>\n<p>Information on previous and current graduate fellows is available&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanderbilt.edu\/vidl\/about\/grad-fellows.php\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vanderbilt Institute for Digital Learning (VIDL) invites applications for graduate student fellowships for the&nbsp;2016-2017&nbsp;academic year.
