I’m interested in gathering a group of people to talk through some implications of disruption theory (developed by Clayton Christensen) on the humanities, and for academic, library, and museum institutions.

I proposed a similar session at THATCamp Museum 2012 and it was well received, so I figured why not again?

How can libraries support the practice and dissemination of DH on campus? What roles can we play? With whom can we develop effective partnerships on campus and beyond? What kinds of collaboration are scholars seeking? And how can libraries participate in a scalable and sustainable way?
Let’s talk.

I agree that a general discussion on DH in the classroom, broadly under the concept of “DH pedagogy” would be useful. I would propose the following issues for discussion:

  1. Lesson plans and learning outcomes: incorporating DH in the classroom
  2. Student projects: ideas for structuring a realistic outcome
  3. Applications and tools: for both students and instructors
  4. Assessment: grading more than just content
  5. Resources: publications and community engagement, beyond just the tools
  6. The teaching environment: the classroom, the library, the lab

These are just a few basic things to start. I welcome any additions, suggestions, criticisms and comments.

Hi everyone – Tatiana clued me in to a great idea for a session proposal – “dork shorts” is a short series of 7-10 minute presentations of ideas or in progress projects that presenters is are interested in receiving feedback on or finding collaborators for (especially emphasizing ‘teachable moments’).  I’d like to present on an Omeka project for rare books I’ve been involved with for the past year – looking to expand in terms of interactivity, visualizations, and eventually linked data.  Anyone else interested in joining in for a Saturday session?
