Failing in DH-teaching
a three-step
how-to guide
Frédéric Clavert / 9 December 2021
DH Summit C2DH/RRCHNM
I. Getting inspired from a successful teaching
Digital History Introduction
(Lausanne)
10 students
non-mandatory teaching
a full year
focused on digital history
project-based
any subject from the XIXth or XXth centuries
II. Ignoring contexts
Master courses at the University of Luxembourg 2017-2018
Inspired by the Lausanne's success
BUT
Could not choose the teaching's subject (Common Market History, 1958-1992)
Only one semester
Adapting to the new context
Some adjustment to make it into one semester
Trying to build on the DH Winter School
Nice try
The Master course at Uni.lu was mandatory
Students were not here to learn Digital History
Technical know how
University of Lausanne and EPFL are on the same campus, with many links between students associations.
University of Luxembourg: few links between our students and computing students
Bad evaluation of the Uni.lu's context
III. Being full of illusions
Did not understand what the students learnt during the Winter School
Did not know enough my students
