Critical Digital Pedagogies for Modern Languages in Higher Education

How do critical digital literacies help us to engage productively with multilingual research topics? In what ways can emerging digital methods reshape how learners engage with modern languages and cultures? These were the questions asked by the Digital Modern Languages tutorial writing sprint, a physical and virtual event designed to create a variety of open educational resources demonstrating the critical use of digital tools and methods for teachers, learners and researchers involved in languages- and cultures-focused teaching and research. 

The outcome of this event was the open access Special Collection Critical Digital Pedagogies in Modern Languages - a Tutorial Collection published on the Modern Languages Open platform in 2020. In this panel, four of the tutorial authors provide their reflections on the challenges of creating open educational resources that address multilingual topics in learning and research in Higher Education.
