"At this moment when all of us, suddenly, have become teachers in
the digital space, this volume provides the kinds of hands on,
practical advice educators need to navigate the complexities of
teaching in the digital humanities. Ten years ago, half of the
topics covered in these essays wouldn't even be topics of
discussion, but today are part of our regular teaching practices.
None of us will ever master all aspects of DH teaching, but taken
together, the essays in this volume come close."—Mills Kelly,
Executive Director of Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New
Media and Professor of History, George Mason University
"I'm not sure I can". "I'm not sure my students can."I don't think
I'd know where to begin"I don't really see the point, to be
honest". Decades after the emergence of digital humanities, the
field can still seem daunting to outsiders and integration to
teaching projects remains uneven. That's where this book comes in,
presenting a variety of ambitious yet accessible, real-life
projects to inspire and embolden. A stepping stone to a new
dimension."—Géraldine Castel, Lecturer in English LEA (Applied
Foreign Languages), Grenoble Alpes University
"Featuring a wide variety of examples from educators from across
higher-ed, this Quick Hits volume is as useful to educators looking
to develop digital humanities classes as it is to more advanced
practitioners interested in integrating the latest tools and
approaches. By highlighting field-tested methods in digital
humanities teaching, the essays collected here will greatly enrich
scholars' ability to enhance their curricular interventions, both
conceptually and methodologically."—Marisa Parham, University of
Maryland, Director of irLhumanities
