Digital Pedagogy Lab  University of Colorado at Denver

Digital Pedagogy Lab is an annual learning and teaching event. The event was established in 2015 at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA as an opportunity to provide in-depth dialogue and practical experience to educators working in under-theorized digital learning spaces. Critical pedagogy forms the foundation of our approach at Digital Pedagogy Lab, and the foundation of the pedagogies that we advocate. The Lab has always been primarily concerned with the facility of online and digital learning, and especially with the ways that educational technology and instructional design make space for, or do not make space for, student agency and liberative pedagogies. As the Lab has continued to grow, our focus has widened to include issues of access, disability, equity, student rights, teacher agency, and the representation of unheard and silenced voices in education.
