Journal: IJHAC: A Journal of Digital Humanities
Guest Editors: Rute Costa and Raquel Amaro (NOVA University Lisbon)
Motivation:
Educational systems are being transformed by digital technologies and demands for new knowledge and skills by university graduates. The special issue on “Humanities Going Digital: Teaching, Training & Research Experiences” emerges from the Erasmus+ project Humanities Going Digital project (2020-1-CZ01-KA226-HE-094363), focusing on the Erasmus+ axes: i) ICT – emergent technologies – digital competencies; ii) New innovative curricula/educational methods/development of training courses, and iii) Open and distance learning. The project focused on the development of teaching methodologies, curricula and materials aiming at contributing to new ways of teaching (off and online) and new educational methods. This encompasses the inclusion of research activities of teachers and students in the field of Digital Humanities, while fostering the dialogue between the students in a professional and academic environment and promoting the direct reflection of the results of their work in the courses.
The special issue on “Humanities Going Digital: Teaching, Training & Research Experiences” is intended to explore the connection between research, teaching and training and the reporting of experiences contributing to Digital Humanities. The special issue invites contributors – teachers, students, researchers, and curators – to present their experiences and work on using and perfecting emergent technologies and digital competencies; innovative curricula and courses; innovative training and teaching methods; open/distance/hybrid learning; as well as opportunities, challenges and solutions in Digital Humanities.
Papers should reflect work on the topics listed below, although it is not limited to these, and we welcome any topics related to teaching, training & research experiences within Digital Humanities:
Analysis of macroscopic trends in cultural/social change
Cultural analytics
Cultural patrimony preservation and representation
Digital archives and their use
