This volume includes a variety of first-hand case studies, critical
analyses, action research and reflective practice in the digital
humanities which ranges from digital literature, library science,
online games, museum studies, information literacy to corpus
linguistics in the 21st century. It informs readers of the latest
developments in the digital humanities and their influence on
learning and teaching. With the growing advancement of digital
technology, humanistic inquiries have expanded and transformed in
unfathomable complexity as new content is being rapidly created.
The emergence of electronic archiving, digital scholarship,
digitized pedagogy, textual digitization and software creation has
brought about huge impacts on both humanities subjects and the
university curricula in terms of nature, scope and design. This
volume provides insights into what these technological changes mean
for all the stakeholders involved and for the ways in which
humanities subjects are understood. Part 1 of this volume begins
with a broad perspective on digital humanities and discusses the
current status of the field in Asia, Canada and Europe. Then, with
a special focus on new literacies, educational implications, and
innovative research in the digital humanities, Parts 2-4 explore
how digital technology revolutionizes art forms, curricula, and
pedagogy, revealing the current practices and latest trends in the
digital humanities. Written by experts and researchers across Asia,
Australia, Canada and Europe, this volume brings global insights
into the digital humanities, particularly in the education aspect.
It is of interest to researchers and students of cultural studies,
literature, education, and technology studies. The strongest point
of this collection of work is that, it brings important concepts to
the study of digital literacies, for example, looking at it from
the perspective of new literacies, languages and education. Daniel
Churchill, Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, The
