The Digital4Humanities project focuses on transferring digital research methods in humanities and social science subjects and learning scenarios. In the project, video tutorials are developed and used as part of digital learning units with lecturers throughout Germany and Europe. They address the application and implementation of selected digital research methods as well as their contextual incorporation. Goals of the project are:

  1. Enhance the digital skills of students and teachers
  2. Evaluate the use of digital research methods in the form of virtual learning modules in the humanities and, based on these findings, promote the use of digital research methods in the humanities
  3. Develop a subject concept for the use of video tutorials and virtual learning modules in the humanities

Digital4Humanities aims to bring digital methodological competencies to the broad spectrum of the humanities. Their transfer has so far only rarely been part of university teaching, and not area-wide. However, these open up innovative research possibilities, for example for own projects and theses, reconstructing architecture that no longer exists, or analyzing large amounts of text.

The video tutorials developed so far in the project address a range of possible applications of digital research methods. In addition, they are actively used by cooperating lecturers in their courses or as an add-on to existing modules. Furthermore, these videos are available as OER for students and interested parties as well as for teachers for further use.

The video tutorials are available for use and reuse by all interested persons hereExternal link. Use the search keyword "Digital4Humanities" to access them.
