The German Studies Collaboratory is a virtual hub of resources for those interested in German language, art, culture, and history. The project offers links to existing materials found on the ‘net, including teaching resources, scholarly lectures, and research materials. At the centre is an ethos of sharing, of professionalism and collegiality, of working through these challenging times together in the spirit of community. By promoting collaboration, be it contributing new materials, borrowing an idea, and sharing what we already have produced, the GSC hopes to model what critical, open and accessible knowledge production might look like.
This includes a: Teaching Hub, Media Hub, and Digital Hub.
New innovations in pedagogy including assignment ideas, syllabi, teaching modules, and digital tools are available in the Teaching Hub for adaptation to courses of all levels.
The Media Hub has guest lectures and webinars and soon hopes to feature short videos designed for the college classroom.
The Digital Hub has links to international library and archive collections, maps, images, sound, and text documents for use in research and in the classroom.
