Notas do Editor
Struck by how what this approach has in common with crowdsourcing. (poll audience)
Overall, digital humanities works at liberal arts colleges because it has been adopted to the liberal arts mission, practices, and pedagogies. These include:
In addition to increased levels of collaboration (a core DH value), also note the increasing expertise—we need to scaffold student projects into the curriculum—not just in one class, as Kathryn does, but across a series of courses.
Students use digital resources—perhaps generative scholarship like the Visualizing Emancipation project.
They contribute to digital resources—perhaps starting with crowdsourcing or working with local faculty
They move on to produce their own resources like Enduring Women or History Harvest
They have become knowledge creators in a globally networked world.
