Digitisation has changed teaching, learning and research in the humanities. What does this mean on a daily basis and how does it affect academic practice in the long run? This class aims to do two things: Firstly, it will showcase the different challenges and opportunities of digital humanities, with a special emphasis on American History, and open discussions about perspectives. Secondly, it will offer a practical introduction to using online resources effectively; from discovering material to using digital platforms for the presentation and exchange of ideas.
