Many of us are just now getting the opportunity to teach courses centered around digital methods for reading and writing. This session aims to give participants a space to discuss key primary and secondary texts, possible assignments, specific lessons/tools, and other topics relevant to designing a course in “DH” (& any related field).
My own particular course for Fall 2014 (“OMG #Literature: Reading in the Digital Age”) will enroll first-semester college freshmen, but I am interested in discussing content, mining existing syllabi online for ideas, and producing multiple drafts of syllabi that would be appropriate a wide variety of student populations in a variety of disciplines. Insight from those who have already taught such courses is especially welcome, as are people who are planning to teach these courses in the future, including those on the job market who feel that developing courses like these will help them in their searches.
