Case Studies of Digital Humanities Pedagogy

What are the characteristics of digital humanities pedagogy? What are high impact practices for digital humanities teaching and learning?  We’ll attempt to answer these questions in a session on “Teaching and Learning with Digital Scholarship” in Bucknell University’s Comparative Humanities Summer Seminar on digital scholarship in the humanities.  To help us think through these questions, we’ll be examining the following cases:
