About this Module

Indicative Module Content:

Workshops and one to one mentoring will be provided on a scheduled basis to enable students to create an individual digital plan and then embark on their digital project, manage its development, evaluate resource materials and identify and use appropriate tools to deliver it.
The rationale for the digital project assignment is to help you gain practical experience of planning and completing a small scale digital project and to use some of the tools you have learned about on the course. Before beginning your project, it will be important to ask yourself the following questions:
- What am I trying to achieve with this project?
- Is it to showcase new research?
- Is it to make your chosen materials available in an easier to access format to promote engagement?
- Is it to digitize something or to curate a collection/exhibition of works/images/maps relating to a certain theme or and present them in a new way?
- Is it to show how historical or cultural material can be made more accessible and appealing to a wider general audience?

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
This module is delivered through a combination of online lectures, one-to-one meetings with a member of the teaching team who will supervise the digital project. It encourages students to practice the skills they have learned as part of the Digital Methods companion module. It has a large self-directed component as it involves the development and delivery of an independent digital project. It also has a short presentation component where students will have the opportunity to introduce and share their digital project with fellow students in Week 12.
