HIST 405 - Digital History (4)

This course teaches students to apply digital storytelling methods to the research and writing of history-opening up opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and enhanced public engagement. The digital age has made new narratives accessible and meaningful, allowing us to engage with the past in new ways. Digital History creates a setting for students to develop rich content by utilizing online platforms that can serve the greater community. Using oral histories, archival material, demographic information, and online mapping tools, students work in groups to understand the intersections of history, geography, and sociology, and actively apply the analytical tools they’ve learned within their disciplines. Prereq: UCCA 102. Offered: Fall and Spring, on rotation.
