Although many humanities scholars have been talking and writing
about the transition to the digital age for more than a decade,
only in the last few years have we seen a convergence of the
factors that make this transition possible: the spread of
sufficient infrastructure on campuses, the creation of truly
massive databases of humanities content, and a generation of
students that has never known a world without easy Internet
access.
Teaching History in the Digital Age serves as a guide for
practitioners on how to fruitfully employ the transformative
changes of digital media in the research, writing, and teaching of
history. T. Mills Kelly synthesizes more than two decades of
research in digital history, offering practical advice on how to
make best use of the results of this synthesis in the classroom and
new ways of thinking about pedagogy in the digital humanities.
