I used information from several sessions to create a blog and a first blog post.

Continue readingTour of an Imaginary Town
Since this afternoon, I have been considering possible uses for interactive text games in the digital humanities. Since they usually involve exploration, I thought that it might be a good way to make a historical tour guide. I created a very simple guide to an imaginary town as a test of this concept.

I have been thinking about what would be an interesting THATCamp learning/production that would be of broader benefit beyond our own DH work in our classes and communities. For this session, I would like to propose for our unconference a radical knowledge production that would be open access, freely available, and unblind peer reviewed edited […]
