DARIAH-EU VCC2 Workshop

Innovative Teaching Methods and Practices in Digital Humanities
The Virtual Competency Centre 2: Research and Education Liaison of the Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH-EU) hereby invites contributions showcasing innovative teaching methods and concepts to be presented and discussed at a full-day workshop on July 7, 2014, at the Digital Humanities Conference in Lausanne 2014.
The workshop will see participants - and, consequently, the DH community at large - to share their thoughts and ideas on how the development of a digital pedagogy for digital humanities should proceed. The main aim is to explore how DH processes and challenges that emerge out of building tools, developing projects and using computational methods to analyze data, influence ways in which we engage students, and whether this engagement can, should and does in fact lead to epistemological turns and pedagogical transformations.
The workshop will be divided into two sessions:
1. Showcasing best practices for teaching and learning DH
In the morning session, participants will have the opportunity to present their ideas and/or actual teaching methods and materials.
2. Challenges in DH pedagogy
The afternoon session will provide a forum for the participants to discuss the most prominent challenges and issues in (digital) teaching of DH as well as the necessary next steps in promoting DH through digital pedagogy.
They are looking for proposals from both long-time practitioner of DH and recent adopters with innovative ideas, methods and interest in digital humanities pedagogy.
Proposals should consist of an abstract of up to 500 words and a short bio which should be submitted by e-mail to: zim@uni-graz.at
The submission deadline is April 13.
