Educating for a Democracy in Question

Digital Technology Tools to Promote Civil Discourse in the Classroom

Friday, January 23, 2026
10:45 AM - 11:45 AM East Coast USA Time
Location: Dogwood - Mezzanine
As campuses face increasingly polarized conditions, campus leaders and faculty are developing programming that helps students learn skills of civil discourse and constructive dialogue. To support these efforts, a suite of evidence-based, digital technology tools have been developed for students and faculty to make such skill development easier, durable, and often fun. In this session, we will showcase some of these new tools and discuss how they can be incorporated into your settings.

This session is in partnership with the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
