Bite-Sized Digital Humanities in the Classroom

Are you an instructor who is interested in developing classroom activities or assignments that encourage creative experimentation?

In this workshop, we will explore a sampling of short and simple in-class activities that can introduce students to methods commonly used in digital humanities (DH), such as distant reading, visualization, encoding, or annotation. We will discuss approaches that you can use when designing classroom activities and assignments, consider appropriate tools and technologies, and ways to best match DH activities and assignments to your course objectives and disciplinary context.

Bring with you: Idea(s) for an activity or assignment that you might want to explore in your own course; laptop for use during the workshop.

No prior experience with digital humanities methods or tools is required.
