This module will introduce students to the theory and practice of creating digital scholarly editions. This hands-on course will concentrate on image and full-text digital repositories. Students work as part of a team to create a digital scholarly edition. Areas to be explored include project management, assessing the collection in terms of project scope, deciding which technologies would most suit the material and the goals of the project, developing a metadata scheme, text encoding, annotation, and website design. To provide the background for these decisions, readings will be assigned throughout the semester. Students will also explore newer methods for creating editions, including crowdsourcing.
