Digital humanities is the study of human beings focusing on their culture, environment, history and interactions with other people using technology. The main goal of Digital Humanities is to expand knowledge across the world in an easier and faster way. Digital Humanities came to the world to serve as an important mean of communication worldwide.
Human beings of this era have lost the sense of perceiving or identifying reality from fantasy.
On the internet we can find many ideologies that are not necessarily correct but due to the accessibility to web anyone can easily become an “expert” on topics that they have not studied.
That causes a huge problem in our modern day society, mainly because people from many ages can easily be influence by fake advertisement, news or misleading information.
Benefits of Digital Humanities projects:
- You can find useful information that has been verified by scholars and researchers.
- The use of images, videos and links provides the readers with a deeper connection with the projects.
- Instant information.
- Information from different sources at the same time.
Digital Humanities has impacted almost every aspect of life today, and education is no exception. After reviewing different projects we’ve realized that many of the information written on those projects can be used as sources for educational purposes. Many students can resort to Digital Humanities to create stronger projects that will be more analytical, diverse, but accurate.
Slave Voyage and Global Boston: A Portal to the Region’s Immigrant Past and Present are some of my favorite Digital Humanities projects because I love learning about the history of the world. By clicking these links you can access them. https://globalboston.bc.edu/index.php/home/eras-of-migration/
If you’re interested in learning about immigration history, this project https://globalboston.bc.edu/index.php/home/eras-of-migration/ will provide you the necessary information about the different eras that immigrants from all over the world went through. Also, this project will provide you with information about why people are fleeing their home countries to come to the U.S. You’ll understand why many governments across the world refuse to acknowledge the mistakes that they’ve caused throughout the years, the lives they have murdered, the families they have separated, and the dreams that they have stopped from accomplishing. Finally, it provides you with a deep analysis of the current immigration feeling in American territory.
