The article outlines the pedagogy behind a multimodal digital research project that provided Georgia Tech students with in-depth instruction into archival research processes while improving the Baldwin\u0026rsquo;s \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/cms.uflib.ufl.edu\/guidingscience\/Index.aspx\u0022\u003Eannotated bibliography\u003C\/a\u003E. The article then details the process of teaching the course and how students responded to the project both during and after the course. This assignment also offered students an opportunity to uncover and make meaning as researchers in their own right, and to distribute that new knowledge through public facing digital platforms such as Twitter and Wikipedia. The authors conclude that the collaborative project had meaningful impacts on the undergraduate students, the course instructor, the curator of the Baldwin Library, and the larger academic community; further, it can serve as a model for engaging undergraduate students with archival research, analysis, and dissemination. This article outlines the assignment in detail, including the interactive digital scaffolding assignments. The article cites student research journal tweets and final reflective portfolio essays to demonstrate the successful fulfillment of the student learning outcomes.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Based on a recent WCP ENGL 1102 course, Dr. Fitzsimmons co-authored an article with the curator of the Baldwin Library of Historical Children\u0027s Literature at the University of Florida on digital archival research via social media.
