"Interactive teaching strategies foster engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking. And we hope, a love of learning. I've also found that for students who don't like to write, writing in the story maps became something that was much easier for them to do." Dr. Raquel Chiquillo, Professor of Spanish.
UHD's very own Professor of Spanish Raquel Chiquillo, Ph.D., and Online Learning Librarian Jennifer Fuentes can now be heard on the Library of Congress's recording of its Connecting Communities Digital Initiative's (CCDI) Summer Fuse event!
Chiquillo and Fuentes discussed their progress on their "Discovering Afro-Latino Heritage: A Reflective StoryMap Project to Enhance Student Belongingness and Learning" and shared their experiences of sifting through the Library's vast digital materials and learning how to create interactive, online StoryMaps.
The recording of the program is available in two parts: CCDI 2024 Summer Fuse Part 1 and CCDI 2024 Summer Fuse Part 2. You can also learn more about the project through their recent interview on the "Of the People" blog.
