Digital Scholarship Teaching and Research Tools

Digital scholarship including digital humanities projects use a wide array of digital tools. This guide provides information on popular collaborative/social annotation software, data visualization, mapping, and podcasts tools. All of these tools are freely available to CUNY faculty and students.

Student digital projects showcase the possibilities of open pedagogy by allowing students to play an active role in learning, becoming not only consumers of knowledge but also producers of public scholarship. Each of these tools encourages collaborative work, improves information and digital literacies, sharpens writing for public audiences, and shows students how to effectively present critical, creative, and community-engaged scholarship.
