There’s also the Zotero group that Lisa Spiro has put together–https://www.zotero.org/groups/digital_humanities_education–and the collection of syllabi assembled by people at CUNY–http://cunydhi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2011/06/06/digital-humanities-syllabi/.

I’d certainly be interested in talking through undergraduate digital humanities courses/projects.

While I also agree it would make a good session, I would also like to point you toward a resource I’ve been trying to put together:

www.zotero.org/groups/dhsyllabi

It’s an open Zotero group that’s a repository for Digital Humanities syllabi. Please feel free to join, to use, and to add anything we might not have included.

Dude, this could definitely be a session proposal. I’d certainly be interested in an in-person conversation.

Good to see comments by my student, Fionnuala, and I agree that this could be a session proposal, if jacobsar wishes. Another option might be to propose merging it with Mark Sample's Better Blogging Assignment idea. Personally, I'm trying to emphasize more "digital writing" (not just reading) in my courses, for students to take on more active learning roles and to produce (not just consume) content for the Web.

Also, I’ll float the possibility that, since others might be teaching similar courses, this works great as a session proposal!

I am a student of Professor Jack Doughtery’s at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. He instructed an upper level seminar that included Zotero, WordPress, Google Fusion Maps, Google Docs, and Inqscribe. I really liked how the course was structured. The course met once a week for three hours. The first 45 minutes (maybe less) were spent on homework responses, upcoming assignments, some explanation of course materials, and some general administrative. The middle of the class was spent learning one of the new technology skills. The end of the seminar was spent analyzing/discussing the assigned readings. As a student, I went into the end of the class (typically the most dreadful part) really “jazzed” and energized with my new skills.

Here is a link to the seminars WordPress page.

Two semesters later, I still reference the “How To” section frequently! I hope the student perspective is helpful, your course sounds really interesting, and most importantly really useful!
