[edit] Description

Team Writing Project – Students will work together to build a shared website on the digital humanities, presenting the history, current web presence, and critical analysis for various content areas, as well as a research guide. Students will be responsible for both the source code of the website and its rendered documents. Students will use our seminar book for week 2 as a guide to site design, composition, and copyright.

We will be authoring this site in a wiki. See the Digital Humanities site functional requirements for an analysis of our decision whether to use Dreamweaver or Wikis.
