I am open to any number of sessions, from design and why it is important for digital humanities to maps to “social” media in the humanities.
However, I do have a very particular session I would thoroughly like to participate in that revolves around teaching digital humanities:
- What we teach.
- How we teach what we teach.
- Why we teach what we teach.
I am particularly interested in finding out what other DH’ers would consider necessary skills—conceptual as well as technological—that students should learn or at least become aware of in a DH class. What are, or should be, the core goal(s) for a DH class? How can we best reach that goal(s)?
On a final note, I would also concur with Jana Remy’s session recommendation on “Using WordPress’ CMS features for building an online CV/portfolio.”
So glad you posted this. I’m also interested in questions about teaching and DH:
– what to include,
– where DH fits (stand-alone course, a complete curriculum, integrated with methods courses or with any humanities course, etc.), and,
– on a lightly more “meta” level, where and how faculty development organizations (like centers for teaching and learning) can encourage and support faculty who want to add a DH component to their existing courses.
