The editors of The CEA Critic recently accepted our proposal for a special issue on Digital Humanities Pedagogy (Spring 2014). We imagined having this special issue move beyond digital humanities theory to practical application with articles addressing pedagogical approaches to introducing undergraduates to one or more aspects of digital humanities:

* transcribing, metadata writing, annotating, and basic TEI coding in conjunction with a startup or established digitization project * datamining: creating narratives of digital texts based on searched terms or defining search terms for future researchers * using digital editions to teach students paratextual influence * analyzing and evaluating the vitality of and scholarly rigor within digital editions with ancillary editorial apparatuses versus open-source digital libraries (e.g. Project Gutenburg, Internet Archive, Google Books, Gale databases) * using TEI tags to enhance research skills and develop annotation awareness as both creator and user * writing hyperlinked annotations as a tool to increase scholarship and boost students’ researching skills * collaborating across disciplines to engage the non-humanities major in digital humanities projects

Proposals for the 3,000-5,000-word articles should not exceed 500 words. Please submit proposals to digitalhumanities@ttu.edumailto:digitalhumanities@ttu.edu by 15 June 2013.

All queries should also be sent to the aforementioned email address. Please consult The CEA Critic site for formatting guidelines: http://www.cea-web.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=...
