Digital Humanities and Pedagogy Partnership

Engaging in digital research projects will enrich students’ learning experiences and enhance their understanding of information and technological proficiency such that they can apply them in the workplace. 

This partnership will promote a learning environment that nurtures and fosters innovation, collaboration, and participation. This enriches the academic ecosystem by combining the expertise and resources of the Library with the pedagogical and subject-specialty of faculty to promote a dynamic environment for intellectual growth and innovation.

The Library offers specialized knowledge and understanding of information and technological proficiencies that focuses on the comprehension of critical approaches to research and digital engagement. This partnership will enable faculty to leverage this expertise in the classroom. 

Librarians work collaboratively with faculty to design and build the syllabi that integrates digital humanities methodologies (applicable to all disciplines beyond the humanities) and information literacy into courses.

Faculty and librarians develop instructional materials, assignments, in class activities, and assessments that enhance students’ use of digital technologies, archival content, project and data management, research approaches, and much more. While faculty will assess student learning, librarians can help develop rubrics that incorporate digital and information literacy elements. 

Librarians and faculty lead instructional classes individually or collaboratively with librarian involvement in at least three classes. Jointly developing and executing digital pedagogy learning outcomes will ultimately serve to enhance the student learning experience.  

Librarians can discuss options for showcasing students' final digital projects, for example on the Library’s exhibits platform or on an external platform.
