Digital pedagogy in the Humanities: Models, Keywords, Prototypes
This document discusses digital pedagogy in the humanities. It provides examples of digital humanities projects at liberal arts colleges that engage undergraduates through courses, research, and experiential learning. Some of the key approaches discussed are collaborative projects between faculty, librarians, archivists, and technologists; undergraduate research involving transcription, encoding, and analyzing primary sources; and place-based digital scholarship projects that involve community partners. The document advocates for digital pedagogy in the humanities as a way to provide active, collaborative, and applied learning experiences that prepare students for a networked world.
