DH Pedagogy

The book cover to Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom: A Practical Introduction for Teachers, Lecturers, and Students. The cover features colorful doodles of office and computer supplies like a keyboard, ruler, pencil, marker, and a mouse and cursor.

Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom, written by Claire Battershill and Shawna Ross, is the go-to guide to using digital tools and resources in the Humanities classroom. The book is rooted in the day-to-day experience of teaching, and written for those without specialist technical knowledge.

Using Digital Humanities also offers a Digital Companion that has been designed to answer commonly asked questions quickly and clearly.


DH Course Randomizer

The Digital Companion site to Using Digital Humanities in the Classroom offers a DH Course Randomizer for users to easily generate a multimodal DH course plan and view how it scores for synchronicity, active learning, and teacher effort.
