An introduction to the history of art, emphasizing visual literacy in an historical context. Major works of art and architecture, drawn from a wide range of world cultures and periods from ancient times to the present, will be explored.

Students will learn to analyze works of art critically from both an historical and an interpretative point of view; in addition, they will gain an understanding of the importance of cultural diversity through exposure to the arts of many different times and places.
Students will have extensive practice in articulating aesthetic judgments effectively in spoken and written form.
Students will learn how to draw upon the cultural riches of New York City to enhance their learning within and outside the classroom.
Identify unique characteristics of several artistic traditions, and recognize and analyze the differences among the major periods, artists, genres, and theories of art.
Use terms of art historical analysis correctly and be able to apply them to unfamiliar works.

What is art? Why does it matter? This course presents a general global view of art history through slide lectures, class discussions, video resources and a museum visit. It selectively surveys the visual arts, beginning with the first objects created by prehistoric humans around 20,000 years ago and ending with the art and architecture of today, covering concurrent historical periods in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Using art from diverse cultures and time periods, we will explore the way that art functions within broader societal trends and ideas, both reacting to and influencing major historical moments.

You will become comfortable with speaking and writing about specific art historical styles, issues and key terms, and be able to approach art in both a formal/visual and historic context. You will also learn how to navigate and explore your own specific interests within the history of art and become aware of resources that will guide you to further your own academic pursuit

Students’ participation and engagement are key measures not only of motivation, but they also provide a way to formatively evaluate and summatively assess their learning. Facilitating participation and understanding engagement comes with some particular challenges in online/hybrid courses.

This workshop will provide a space for participants to think through what participation can mean in an online/hybrid setting, and to discuss concrete strategies to keep students engaged and motivated through the semester. Participants will have the opportunity to develop and apply participation and assessment strategies to a range of sample assignment types.

The Digital Tool Box for Teaching and Scholarship, created by Brooklyn College Library's OER Developers, is dedicated to exploring and evaluating some of the many digital tools available on the web. We will explore various tools, discussing how they can be used in classrooms as learning objects and will also provide links to interesting and exciting projects where they are used. This toolbox will also touch on accessibility in digital scholarship and creation. Since this toolbox is part of the CUNY and SUNY 2017-19 Open Educational Resources Initiative, we are committing to present tools which are openly available.

3 hours and conference; 3 credits

The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a very basic introduction to implementing three simple research designs using the simsem package in R. R is an open source statistical computing environment (R Core Team, 2015). For more information about R, see the R Project homepage (https://www.r-project.org/) and the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) web page (https://cran.r-project.org/). The lavaan package provides functions for fitting and evaluating structural equation models (Rosseel, 2012). For further information about the lavaan package including tutorials, see the lavaan Project web page (http://lavaan.ugent.be/). The simsem package (Pornprasertmanit, Miller & Schoemann, 2016) provides functions to facilitate structural equation modeling simulation studies and is compatible with both lavaan and openMx (Boker, et al., 2014). For more information about the simsem package, see the simsem web page (http://simsem.org/). This document assumes some familiarity with the basics of R and assumes familiarity with lavaan model specification. The simsem web page provides extensive examples for running specific simulation conditions. The goal of this document is to provide a basic guide to implementing simple research designs by combining multiple conditions into a larger design for comparative analysis. Sample code illustrates the complete process including simulation, basic data management strategies, and graphical display of results. The document will focus on lavaan model specification and estimation but the techniques generalize to openMx. For more information about openMx, see the openMx web page (http://openmx.psyc.virginia.edu/).
The first section considers a simple two-group between-subjects design. The second section considers a within subjects design with two conditions. The third section combines these into a 2×2 mixed factorial design. The final section discuses the use of functions in programming simulations. This document also assumes basic familiarity with factorial research designs and terms used to describe them. Four self-contained R scripts accompany this tutorial.

Teaching faculty and librarians can print and assign this scavenger hunt zine to students. This is a ready-made assignment that guides students on a DIY tour of the library and teaches them to use core services by asking them to use the library and record their experiences. The booklet zine can be graded if desired. You can print this and hand it to students, or direct students here to print it themselves.
