Examining the Pedagogy of Information Schools’ Digital Humanities Courses through Syllabi
- Inspired by coursework at the Humanities Intensive Teaching and Learning (HILT2015) seminar on Digital Pedagogy and Networked Learning. Documentation available at http://bit.ly/HILTschedule.
- Crowsourced a compliation of sample syllabi using Zotero
- Plan to code and sort the syllabi and then conduct interviews of students from those programs to see how the curriculum matched with, or adequately prepared them for professional jobs in digital humanities.
