CDH Workbench: Using COVE (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education) in Your Classroom

Host: Dino Felluga

COVE is a digital learning and teaching environment to which Ryerson Libraries has a pilot subscription. Although the holdings at COVE are currently 19th-century dominant, there is also a great deal of material from other literary periods (Beowulf to Virginia Woolf) and a series of ongoing grants to digitize BIPOC texts. Each week, several new texts are added. With a few months’ leeway, one can request a text for digitization that has not yet been uploaded to COVE. Many Ryerson faculty and graduate students may find this site helpful to their future teaching.

Dino Felluga, a founder, will join us for this special session geared towards Ryerson faculty and graduate students. COVE enables the formation of a digital anthology of texts that are fully annotatable and a set of tools to enhance the understanding of assigned texts. We will introduce attendees to its features, provide a short account of how it has and can be used in a classroom setting and then answer any questions you might have about its features.
