Digital Humanities Intro Workshop: Digital Portfolio and Presentation Building

Catalog description

HMN 300 teaches students strategies and tools for crafting effective digital self-presentations of their work and skills, primarily through the creation of digital portfolios which can be adapted and reused for a wide variety of academic and professional audiences. In this workshop, students will practice building persuasive, organized multimedia self-presentations, culminating in the creation of an example digital portfolio and a reflection paper describing the design process in conversation with the course discussion, assigned readings, and in-class exercises students will have completed. This workshop will require preparatory reading, in-class participation, independent research, and the submission of a workshop assignment and reflection as part of each student’s submitted final digital portfolio. Open lab hours following the workshops will offer students additional support in completing their assignments, reflections, and portfolios. HMN 30X workshops are designed as basic or introductory and require no previous skills or knowledge. Students must have passed HMN 201 with a grade of C or higher prior to enrolling in this course. The schedule of upcoming workshop offerings by semester will be posted on the Digital Humanities program website to help facilitate planning and advising.
