I also agree that beginners want an instant answer rather than a resource to consult. They need the experience of building their own vocabulary in dialogue.

I think you are right–you need to get them onto twitter before you can get them using that resource. At my last intro workshop, I made all participants get on twitter, but it took a while. And I had to give […]

We, the #feralcats of THATCampLAC 2012, want to support the motto of more hack, less yack at THATCamps. To help THATCamp participants hack, we’ve compiled this More Hack Guide both as a handbook for hacking […]

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 12:35:17 +0000

I’d like this session, too. I’d like to link it to the need for students to learn about big data and think about how to teach them visualization tools, as well.

One of the mottoes of THATcamp is Less Yack, More Hack. This means we focus on doing along with our talking, which distinguishes THATcamps from most other conferences. For example, DHCommons came out of a session […]

I’ve had a request for a Digital Scholarship Seminar on Womens Studies and DH. I’d love some help in planning this online seminar. Who would be a good speaker? Let’s write a description.

Ben Brumfield led a great session on crowdsourcing at THATCamp Texas 2011. I’d love to see that session again. In addition to talking about it, we could try our hand at one of the many crowdsourced manuscript […]

Let’s crowdsource a glossary of digital humanities jargon. One of the challenges for digital humanities newbies, is all the jargon. Help the DH community figure out what it’s jargon is. When you hear a term you […]

Thu, 31 May 2012 21:45:06 +0000

I’d be interested in this session, especially thinking about it from the user’s point of view and as a way to engage the general public. Two relevant pieces came out of the “Shape of Things to Come” conference on […]

I’d like to discuss this, too. This is one of the core goals of NITLE’s Digital Humanities Initiative.

Thu, 31 May 2012 21:31:52 +0000

I think you’re right about this; students are comfortable with digital tools but they don’t push them as far as faculty do. That’s probably true for any tool; for example, faculty are more sophisticated book […]

Growing numbers of digital humanists don’t have access to digital humanities centers. While they may get energized at a THATCamp, it’s hard to sustain that energy back on the home campus. The vibrant online […]

The digital humanities session at the NITLE Summit also discussed this idea of a digital humanities road show specifically aimed at small liberal arts colleges. I think the thrust was more having those LACs who […]

I agree–I think that public humanities is a great way to engage undergrads into digital humanities while promoting civic engagement, a key value in liberal education.
