DARIAH Reference Curriculum

The newly-funded Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership DARIAH-RC is seeking your help in identifying the ‘hottest’ topics in Digital Humanities today. As part of the project’s mandate to develop an open-access modular portal for teaching/training materials in the digital humanities, we are looking for your input in identifying the modules that could be developed. To take the survey go to http://bit.ly/either-or and follow us on Twitter @dariahTeach.

Seven universities and research centers across Europe are part of a grant to develop an open-source, high quality, multilingual reference curriculum for the digital arts and humanities. The DARIAH Reference Curriculum (DARIAH-RC) will strengthen alliances and foster innovative teaching and learning practices among members of the ESFRI-roadmap Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities (DARIAH).

The Strategic Partnership grant started on 1 January 2015 and will run for a duration of two and a half years. The DARIAH-RC will feature flexible, localized curriculum materials as well as a central, modular portal that will host, deliver and maintain those materials. The portal will also support the development of new curricula materials and the sustainability of the project after the grant period has ended. The DARIAH-RC represents the first openly accessible Digital Humanities curriculum of its kind and will serve as a model for creating and delivering open-source asynchronous online educational materials, from which other communities can benefit.
