The Anatomy of Digital Humanities (#dighum) and Digital Pedagogy (#digped)
Sifting through and storifying this conversation on Twitter quickly became an exercise in dissecting the many layers of Digital Humanities and Digital Pedagogy. It also made me realize just how elaborate (but still focused) the threads of a Twitter discussion can be.

MT @anneperez: Someone asked me a qn-- does having students creating content for a course website count as dh? Cc @triproftri @briancroxall- @anneperez it's a good question. I think most dh-ers would say it would be dh if students were asked to reflect on the dig form+
- @anneperez how it shaped their production/repr of this knowledge/data. If its simply a reproduction of a print project, then prob no.
@adelinekoh Hmm. In my class we looked at Chicana print cultures of the 60s-90s by creating a hypertext blog culture of our own.- @anneperez yes I would say that counts. But that reflects on form as well in a transmedia sense
- @adelinekoh That makes sense. My goal with the class was to increase Chicana content online.
@adelinekoh Assuming that the assignment involves thinking critically about the diff. b/t content for a website vs. printed page, then yes!
@adelinekoh @anneperez its a great site! I stumbled across it in my online reseach! citedatthecrossroads.net/chst404/- CHST 404 - Chicana Feminisms | Spring 2012The Center for Service and Action at LMU offers opportunities for students to volunteer throughout the year; one of these opportunities i...
@adelinekoh @anneperez @briancroxall hmm, wd need more info. does definitely count at digital pedagogy- @triproftri here's a link to the course site / blog. A central goal of mine was to add Chicana content to the web. citedatthecrossroads.net/chst404
- @triproftri We're looking at historical Chicana feminist print culture (60s-90s) & creating our own hyper textual community. It's been fun.
- @anneperez hmm, since you're creating something/building it with students & u have an infrastructure already, it seems DH.
- @triproftri Thanks for the feedback. :) It's been an interesting way to look at the history of print cultures / textual communities.
- @anneperez looks cool & interesting contributions for students. keep track of the situations arising & write about it!
- @triproftri Thanks. They've been great -- none of them had been on Twitter before and now they tweet as they read. :)
And a few days later the thread is picked up again:
@adelinekoh @anneperez I think drawing clean line btwn Digital Humanities and Digital Pedagogy is problematic. I vote counts as DH.
@triproftri @adelinekoh @anneperez @briancroxall I really do like VSzabo's def, which would indicate that it depends on what the course is
