Innovating history

Lecture by Prof. Olena Betlii (National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy) and Taras Nazaruk (Center for Urban History of East Central Europe).

After launching the teaching platform on Digital Source Criticism Ranke.2 in autumn 2018, I assumed its appearance and form - the short colorful animations and easy to ‘digest’ chunks of information - would easily grasp the attention of lecturers and motivate them to use it in their courses. A recent meeting with colleagues made me realize that personal contact and hands on experience with the material are key to make my target audience realize that the resource offers something they may need.

Lecture by Patrik Svensson, Professor of Humanities and Information Technology at Umeå University. The event is part of the C²DH lecture series 'New Horizons: Confronting the Digital Turn in the Humanities'.
