This volume includes a variety of first-hand case studies, critical
analyses, action research and reflective practice in the digital
humanities which ranges from digital literature, library science, online
games, museum studies, information literacy to corpus linguistics in the
21st century. It informs readers of the latest developments in the
digital humanities and their influence on learning and teaching.
With the growing advancement of digital technology, humanistic inquiries
have expanded and transformed in unfathomable complexity as new content
is being rapidly created. The emergence of electronic archiving, digital
scholarship, digitized pedagogy, textual digitization and software
creation has brought about huge impacts on both humanities subjects and
the university curricula in terms of nature, scope and design. This
volume provides insights into what these technological changes mean for
all the stakeholders involved and for the ways in which humanities
subjects are understood. Part 1 of this volume begins with a broad
perspective on digital humanities and discusses the current status of
the field in Asia, Canada and Europe. Then, with a special focus on new
literacies, educational implications, and innovative research in the
digital humanities, Parts 2-4 explore how digital technology
revolutionizes art forms, curricula, and pedagogy, revealing the current
practices and latest trends in the digital humanities.
Written by experts and researchers across Asia, Australia, Canada and
Europe, this volume brings global insights into the digital humanities,
particularly in the education aspect. It is of interest to researchers
and students of cultural studies, literature, education, and technology
studies.
The strongest point of this collection of work is that, it brings
important concepts to the study of digital literacies, for example,
looking at it from the perspective of new literacies, languages and
education.
