3	Employ data literacy skills they have acquired such as data modeling, web publishing, algorithmic classification, visualization, mapping	5	Technical Implementation	Medium
4	Identify both the critical, intellectual labor as well as biases that become ‘hidden’ in data and algorithms-both analytical and generative	2	Analytical Thinking	High
5	Discuss some of the differences and challenges, ethical and technical, in doing digital arts and humanities across linguistic and cultural backgrounds	4	Critical Thinking	High

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES:

This course will take place in both a seminar and a lab style, with discussion of pre-assigned readings and a lab session for hands-on learning.

• The course will incorporate guest lecturers when possible.
• Since the course strives to use open and accessible methods, most hands-on work done during the lab session can be repeated asynchronously from students’ computers. Specialized labs or software will occasionally be required.
• A laptop will be essential for almost every session. Sometimes a tablet or pad will not be sufficient.
• Students will work in teams to carry out small projects using what they have learned. They will also design, create and evaluate individual project concepts.
• All course work is public and open in a digital web-based format, with an emphasis on creating a public portfolio.
