I spent the last two days at a fascinating event in Lewes funded by the Higher Education Academy. The “summit” was focused on the teaching of Digital Humanities, with a view to the HEA gaining a sense of the current issues and priorities in teaching and learning. This will in turn inform further HEA policy and recommendations. As part of the event we were encouraged to produce an artifect that reflected our understanding of digital humanities as a discipline, pedagogic issues and opportunities posed, and potential pedagogic responses. The Storify provides the story of “#teachDH” from the perspective of our “#DHtapestry” artefact.

I also attach the files below showing different views of the tapestry. Our hope is that the tapestry will continue to grow, digitally, by submission of new components.
