Teaching Methods
The seminar format fits perfectly with the goals of promoting an environment that values learning and sharing the active discussion of research results that students will carry out, which culminate in the production of an original paper on one of the topics covered and in different aspects of the program using blogs, wikis and other digital technologies appropriate to the different objectives of the proposed program.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the semester students should be familiar with the epistemic question of Digital Humanities and the way digital technology and methods have been applied in the context of research in the humanities and social sciences. They must also meet the respective implications for the organization of memories, to generate new forms of research and sharing results, including their widespread dissemination, and for questions of design medium.
