Short description

The course is focused on two key aspects: tailoring learning material for humanities students by integrating historical and cultural contexts into the explanation of digital tools, and emphasizing the practical aspects of digital humanities. The eleven thematic modules were designed to build on each other, providing students with current scholarly literature and utilizing multimedia tools beyond mere illustration. To monitor student performance, quiz exercises were employed, offering insights into both content comprehension and the challenges students encountered during their work.
