  • ADoc? 407: Readings and Practicum in Digital History and Hypermedia

    4.00 Credits
    SUNY at Albany

    This course introduces students to the practice of history in the digital age. The emergence of the World Wide Web has opened up new avenues for researching, analyzing, and presenting the past-but has also raised new questions about producing quality historical scholarship in this open environment. This course will work on two fronts, looking first at the current state of the field of "digital history," from issues of narrative and hypertext theory to some of the best (and worst) practices of current historical websites. At the same time, as a central component of the course, students will work in collaboration to build their own ell-researched and historically sound web projects. Previous experience with building websites is welcomed but not required. Prerequisite(s): permission of instructor required
