LIS310 Syllabus

Starting in January I will be teaching LIS310 Computing the in the Humanities at GSLIS. I’ve posted a draft of my syllabus and would welcome any feedback or comments from more seasoned instructors in this area.

It’s been a while since I’ve taught an undergraduate course, and I’m quite excited to see the diversity of students who have already enrolled in the course. I’ll be updating the draft syllabus as we go along to fill in some of the details (like exactly which activity I’m using for a particular week).

Thanks to all of you who have posted your digital humanities syllabuses to the web, They’ve been a useful guide as I’ve been revising this one. Thanks also to John Unsworth for sharing his earlier syllabus for this course on which this one is heavily based.

    Just came across your blog and the syllabus for the spring class in digital humanities. I’m planning to follow the syllabus myself, as it fits beautifully into my own informal educational endeavors of the moment. Did you work with Bernie Herman at UDel? I was in art history there from 1995 forward and your name is familiar. Thank you very much for making the syllabus available. I am already digging into a hefty text on XML as I try to understand where museum-related technology is headed and how to gear my work toward new media and semantic web in particular. Your blog and related sites are rich and informative, not to say inspiring.

    Best, MH
