In preparation for the symposium Teaching Digital History to Historians – International Perspectives we organised a blog parade on “Digital History in Higher Education”. Fourteen researchers followed the call and blogged their teaching examples and reflections on how and what to teach to students of history (in chronlogical order):

Welche digitalen Kompetenzen sollen in einem Geschichtsstudium vermittelt werden? #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

Ein Beitrag zur Blogparade “Digitale Geschichte in der universitären Lehre – wer, wie, was?“ begleitende zur Tagung “Digitale Geschichte in der universitären Lehre – internationale Perspektiven #dhiha8“.

Die Blogparade „Digitale Geschichte in der universitären Lehre – wer, wie, was?“ ist im vollen Gange. Bisher fällt auf, dass die deutschen Beiträge Beispiele eigener Lehrveranstaltungen beinhalten (zumeist Twitterseminare/Public History!), während die Diskussion in Frankreich polemischer ist und darauf zielt, ob es die Digital Humanities überhaupt gibt und wie die digitalen Kompetenzen vermittelt werden sollen[1].

So schlägt Émilien Ruiz in seinem Beitrag vor, digitale Methoden nicht in eigenen Übungen zu lehren, sondern in den thematischen Seminaren zu verankern. Damit soll verhindert werden, dass es an den Fakultäten eine Madame oder ein Monsieur Digital gibt, die oder der die digitale Ausbildung leistet, zumeist ohne Anbindung und vor allem ohne Anerkennung innerhalb der Fakultät.

#dhiha8 oder Von den unendlichen Weiten des Internets

Keine Kommentare

Die Studierenden des Kurses „Twitterstorians. Geschichtsvermittlung im Internet“ am Fachbereich Geschichte der Universität Salzburg und ich sind in diesem Sommersemester zu einer Reise aufgebrochen. Unser Ziel: Geschichte und Geschichtsvermittlung im Internet nachzuspüren, d.h., wir haben einen kurzen Blick auf Blogs und Journals geworfen, auf Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram und Wikipedia.

Dabei komme ich mir vor, wie die Reiseleitung einer Tourist*innengruppe, die in drei Tagen ganz Europa erkunden will – es gibt so viel zu sehen und zu entdecken. Je mehr man guckt, desto mehr findet man. Das ist insofern aufregend, weil es motiviert und Interesse weckt. Wir hatten spannende und kontroverse Diskussionen, z.

Gemeinsam lernen: Digitale Geschichte und die Entwicklung der HistoriaApp #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

Dieser Text ist ein Beitrag zur Blogparade zur Tagung “Digitale Geschichte in der universitären Lehre – internationale Perspektiven” #dhiha8

Einleitung

Im Wintersemester 2016/17 begann an der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf ein zweisemestriges Projektseminar, das sich das Ziel gesetzt hatte, eine App für historische Stadtrundgänge zu entwickeln. Zwei weitere Projektseminare folgten bis zum Sommer 2018. Das historische Thema war zunächst der Nationalsozialismus in Düsseldorf. Neben den motivierten Studierenden unterstützten die Mahn- und Gedenkstätte Düsseldorf, das Institut für Digital Humanities der Universität zu Köln in persona von Dr. Jürgen Hermes und der eLearning Förderfonds der HHU das Projekt. Programmiert wurde die App von David Neugebauer. (Spätere Unterstützer*innen: Der Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf und Prof.  Andrea von Hülsen-Esch)

Transkribus in the Classroom. Students Find Their Way to Manuscripts and Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

Pia Eckhart (University of Freiburg) and Ina Serif (University of Basel)

At University Library Basel, having a look at Cod. A IX 23a (picture: Pia Eckhart, pe).

In the fall of 2018 a workshop on the possibilities of integrating digital tools and computational methods into historical research was held at the chair for Medieval History II at the University of Freiburg. Over coffee, the idea came up to organize a hands-on Transkribus seminar for students. Our interest in this tool, which offers an environment for the (semi)automated transcription of handwritten and printed documents, had been primarily research driven so far: Ina had already used Transkribus in several projects, and Pia was in the process of evaluating the role the software could play in a new research project. Now we discovered our common interest: Ina was about to publish a Transkribus tutorial and Pia was planning to integrate the tool into her next paleography course, so we decided to put our heads together and come up with a joined plan.

Goals

Our goal was to show students how to take a first step into the digital realm of history, without having to learn how to code or pay for expensive software, and to teach them how to integrate different tools, resources and methods into their own research.

Christiane Sibille: Teaching Digital History. A Three-Step Approach #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

Lecture within the conferene Teaching History in the Digital Age – Internation Perspectives #dhiha8, June 17-18, 2019 at the German Historical Institute in Paris, co-organised with the C2DH.

In my contribution, I will talk about a three-part course model that I taught at the University of Basel. The courses are intended to impart knowledge and skills about methods and practices of Digital History and to encourage students to apply this knowledge in other areas of their studies and possibly also in their future careers.

The presentation outlines the basic structure of the courses, describes the experiences after two cycles and discusses the challenges of teaching digital skills in the curriculum.

Dr Christiane Sibille is scientific collaborator and head “Digital Innovation” at the research centre Diplomatic Documents of Switzerland (Dodis). She has held teaching positions on “Digital History” at the Department of History at the University of Basel since 2015 and is president of the Swiss association “History and Computing”.

Levke Harders: Social Media, Public History, and Higher Education: An Instruction Manual for a #Twitterseminar #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

Lecture within the conferene Teaching History in the Digital Age – Internation Perspectives #dhiha8, June 17-18, 2019 at the German Historical Institute in Paris, co-organised with the C2DH.

During the last winter term, I taught a class on the 50th anniversary of Bielefeld University, celebrated in 2019. Given my interest in social media as well as in teaching, the seminar combined university history with practical training (archival research and writing) and with Digital Humanities. The class aimed at training students to communicate their own research findings via social media. The young researchers chose various topics to prepare a Twitter timeline that tells a different story of Bielefeld University’s early years (see https://twitter.com/@UniBielefeld50 as well as the blogpost by one of the students: https://50jahre.uni-bielefeld.de/2019/04/03/jubilaeumsprojekt-twittertimeline).

Caroline Muller: Introducing Undergraduate Students to Research in the Digital Age #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

Lecture within the conferene Teaching History in the Digital Age – Internation Perspectives #dhiha8, June 17-18, 2019 at the German Historical Institute in Paris, co-organised with the C2DH.

Teaching digital history to undergraduate students is a big challenge: you have to both teach general digital literacy basics and be sensitive to the effects on the scientific environment. In my course of „digital cultures for historians“, the starting point is the status of scientific information. It helps to think about the construction of the web, the reading and the production of knowledge in a digital world. When students reach a more advanced level, the course transforms itself into an initiation to research: which forms of scientific information are available? Which political issues (open access) does it raise? How to differentiate primary and secondary source? What new materials are available for building History?

Call to Join the Blog Parade: Teaching History in the Digital Age – Who, What, How? #dhiha8

Keine Kommentare

June 17 and 18, 2019 will see the eighth colloquium in the “Digital Humanities at DHIP” series, organised by the German Historical Institute Paris in collaboration with the Luxembourg Center for Contemporary and Digital History: Teaching History in the Digital Age – International Perspectives #dhiha8.

In preparation for the symposium Teaching Digital History to Historians – International Perspectives, which will take place on 17 and 18 June 2019 at the German Historical Institute, in cooperation with the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, we are organising a blog parade on „Digital History in Higher Education“. The texts can be published on the author’s blog, or on the German Historical Institute’s conference blog until 10 June 2019, in German, English or French. Their titles will contain the hashtag of the symposium, #dhiha8. The blog posts will be summarised and integrated into the afternoon workshop discussion. In particular, we would like to attract personal accounts of initiatives, examples from teaching practice or reflections on the following topics:

Digital History

In recent years, the Digital Humanities community has advocated innovative methods, including the development of many digital tools that are not adapted to the specific field of history. Rather, these approaches have developed in the much more general field of humanities and computer science. Since many applications of the Digital Humanities are not yet subject to any disciplinary canon or standard, familiarisation with these methods and tools requires an intensive interdisciplinary effort of understanding that must generally be carried out individually.
