ABSTRACT
This chapter explores an exercise developed for the course that aims to foster integrative learning via an object-based learning approach. This exercise, in turn, reflects some of the many ways that integrative teaching and learning is being incorporated into the MA/MSc in DH as part of a wider object-based learning context. The MA/MSc in DH in the Department of Information Studies, University College London (UCL), was launched in 2010. It is an interdisciplinary programme, exploring the intersection of digital technologies, humanities scholarship and cultural heritage. The course INSTG008 Digital Resources in the Humanities (DRH) is a core course for students on the DH MA/MSc and an optional course for students on other programmes offered by the UCL Department of Information Studies. The incorporation of integrative learning strategies into university teaching requires a significant time commitment, and one may reasonably wonder whether that time is justified, especially in a research-led university such as UCL.
