IDIS 210 - Introduction to the Digital Humanities

(3)

This course teaches the use of digital tools and methods for study, research, and presentation within humanities. Students will learn and apply
technical skills including how to develop and query databases, use computers for textual and numerical analyses, map locations from novels and
historical periods, and present projects in print and digital formats. Students will also explore social media, including “fake news,” and what it means
to be a good digital citizen. Learning is hands-on and interactive, and builds a foundation for future computer-based collaborative research and career
opportunities. This course is open to students in all majors and may be of particular interest to those in the humanities and social sciences.
