"""At this moment when all of us, suddenly, have become teachers in the digital space, this volume provides the kinds of hands on, practical advice educators need to navigate the complexities of teaching in the digital humanities. Ten years ago, half of the topics covered in these essays wouldn't even be topics of discussion, but today are part of our regular teaching practices. None of us will ever master all aspects of DH teaching, but taken together, the essays in this volume come close.""—Mills Kelly, Executive Director of Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and Professor of History, George Mason University ""I'm not sure I can"". ""I'm not sure my students can.""I don't think I'd know where to begin""I don't really see the point, to be honest"". Decades after the emergence of digital humanities, the field can still seem daunting to outsiders and integration to teaching projects remains uneven. That's where this book comes in, presenting a variety of ambitious yet accessible, real-life projects to inspire and embolden. A stepping stone to a new dimension.""—Géraldine Castel, Lecturer in English LEA (Applied Foreign Languages), Grenoble Alpes University ""Featuring a wide variety of examples from educators from across higher-ed, this Quick Hits volume is as useful to educators looking to develop digital humanities classes as it is to more advanced practitioners interested in integrating the latest tools and approaches.
