About Sample Assignments


Sample assignments give an overview of how specific digital humanities techniques, methods, or approaches can be practiced in classroom settings at various levels. They are intended as a resource for content and as a way of estimating the time, resources, and steps required to implement student-centered digital humanities projects from lesson planning to assessment.
