Session: Guerrilla, Hacker, & Transparent Pedagogies: Designing Learning for the 21st Century Writing Student


Presentation by Rochelle (Shelley) Rodrigo 
Summary of Presentation:Hacker Pedagogy emerges out of the increasingly frugal realities of both teachers and students in the 21st century. Writing, especially technical and professional, students need to learn how to compose in a variety of digital spaces; however, having access to a variety of them is an expensive endeavor for both the students and teachers. The pragmatics of austerity in universities and colleges that are increasingly experiencing lean financial times can encourage a hacker mentality, and this mentality can produce scrappy students who in turn understand how to use networks of learning and how to identify potential means of learning new skills and developing new interpersonal networks within their work situation.
