Activity 1.3.1. Create your own classification

If you were to create a classification for the examples of projects that you’ve seen, what would that classification look like? In other words, if you were asked to group the different projects shown above into clusters, how would you do it? How would you describe the variety of digital humanities projects out there?

One way of going about this is to consider your answer to the questions presented above: What kinds of different purposes did the different project creators have? Why were these projects conceptualized? What were the driving force/s? Under which field or discipline does each project belong? Are there more than one disciplines involved?

Don't worry about getting things "right" at this moment. The important thing is to activate the pattern-recognition part of your brain and apply it to the subject of the digital humanities! Starting next module, we will be looking at one way of categorizing digital humanities projects.
