Public Digital Projects for Courses

This guide will help students and faculty create public digital projects, as part of a class, as a research project, or as a way of presenting their research or community-engaged scholarship.

Introduction

Interested in incorporating a digital project into your course as a collaborative learning experience and/or final project? This guide can introduce you to some pedagogical and technical considerations as well as help you choose an appropriate platform for your project. In "Pedagogy and Process," read about general things to consider when incorporating a digital project into your course and under "platforms," browse platforms by type of project and view examples and further resources. Public digital projects are an excellent way for students to gather, synthesize, and analyze course content while sharing their learning with a broader audience, collaborating with their peers, and engaging with questions of digital authorship and audience. 

While this guide can help you get started, CDS is here to help! Reach out to cds_info@brown.edu to schedule a consultation with one of our digital scholarship experts. We can help you plan and scope your course project and come to your class to provide workshops on particular methods or platforms.
