10.02.2022 OMS-Blog: Teaching with Perusall

In the opening blog post for the OMS-Blog's special series Researching, Teaching, and Learning with Digital Tools, DiCi-Hub's Josephine Diecke, Nicole Braida, and Isadora Campregher Paiva have invited readers to explore the wide-ranging applications of digital methods and tools in film and media studies. Based on the areas of teaching and (self-)study, research, (interactive) websites as well as project management and project communication, specific use cases with their advantages and limitations will be presented and critically examined in the course of the series. The aim is to provide an open platform for discussing the various approaches and perspectives in order to focus on the dimensions of and workflows with digital tools.

The special series continues with the contribution Teaching with Perusall by media scholars Jan Teurlings and Markus Stauff, who share their experiences with the collaborative reading tool Perusall for online teaching. Starting with the tool's potential and promises for teachers and students, the authors discuss the extent to which these come to fruition in practice and why they are only partially suitable for use in media studies.

The individual contributions will be published in the course of 2022. Further proposals and suggestions can still be submitted to the editors at any time via e-mail (diecke@staff.uni-marburg.de), in accordance with the guidelines of our call for papers, and also with direct reference to previously published contributions.
