A Primer For Teaching Digital History: Ten Design Principles

A Primer for Teaching Digital History is a guide for college and high school teachers who are teaching digital history for the first time or for experienced teachers who want to reinvigorate their pedagogy. It can also serve those who are training future teachers to prepare their own syllabi, as well as teachers who want to incorporate digital history into their history courses. Offering design principles for approaching digital history that represent the possibilities that digital research and scholarship can take, Jennifer Guiliano outlines potential strategies and methods for building syllabi and curricula. Taking readers through the process of selecting data, identifying learning outcomes, and determining which tools students will use in the classroom, Guiliano outlines popular research methods including digital source criticism, text analysis, and visualization. She also discusses digital archives, exhibits, and collections as well as audiovisual and mixed-media narratives such as short documentaries, podcasts, and multimodal storytelling. Throughout, Guiliano illuminates how digital history can enhance understandings of not just what histories are told but how they are told and who has access to them.

'With the substantial role it has played in higher education since the onset of the pandemic, teaching with technology is an area in need of robust scholarship. For humanities faculty, A Primer for Teaching Digital History fills this gap with a well-organized and comprehensive guide to assignments, digital tools, and pedagogical approaches that assist with teaching not only history but also literature, art, music, and culture. Guiliano’s eminently practical guide is as valuable for experienced digital pedagogies as those just getting started.' - Public Books
