This website was created by the Instructional Technology Consultants at the UCLA Center for Digital Humanities. Our goal is to provide a central starting place where Humanities instructors can learn about the various technological tools at their disposal, including how to use them and where to find assistance and further training.
It's no secret that technology has become a powerful force in our society, and there are numerous ways that we can use this exciting and rapidly changing medium to fulfill the University's mission to achieve excellence in teaching, research, and service.
