This course takes a hands-on approach to introducing students to various methods used by the digital humanities community. Students will gain a high-level understanding of approaches including but not limited to text-analysis, data mining, data visualization, augmented reality, game design, curation, and storytelling. Exploration of these methods will be informed by critical discourse, enabling students to analyze and evaluate digital projects and to think ethically about the choices involved in creating, manipulating, analyzing, and representing using digital methods. Projects and reflections completed as part of this class will contribute towards student's digital portfolios.
