Croxton, Rebecca A. 2020. “E-Learning in the Digital Humanities: Leveraging the Internet for Scholarship, Teaching and Learning.”

Croxton contends that the time is ripe for a convergence between DH and e-Learning, which would provide opportunities to reach a broader audience of learners, and allow students to earn a degree without having to attend campus. She believes that, with thoughtful course design and pedagogy, integrating DH in an e-Learning context can provide satisfying teaching and learning experiences that may supersede those achieved in the traditional face-to-face classroom. The author relies on social cognitive theory and social constructivist theory to explore how learning occurs in online courses. These two theories were used to design two online DH courses at a university in the southeastern region of the United States. Croxton concludes that applying sound pedagogical principles grounded in educational theory can develop students’ professional identities, promote higher order thinking, and allow students to learn in a convenient context that also aligns with careers in DH.
