I’m also interested in Michael’s #3 (Big Ideas for an intro-DH course since I expect I will be teaching one in the future). Some additional suggestions for possible sessions:

1. Hacking/Coding in the Humanities (How can/should humanists get into/learn/practice hacking code? How can hacking and critical codes studies be incorporated into the classroom?)

2. Strategies and solutions for post-degree/professional DH skills development (What are the essential skills? How can these skills be acquired efficiently and accredited?)

Thanks for the suggestions, Michael! That’s a great list. (I’m especially interested in #3, since I’ll be teaching an intro-DH course this fall.)

As for the hashtag, we’ll likely stick with #THATCamp, since the THATCamp folks are already archiving it. Plus, there are no other THATCamps during our weekend. However, if you want to add an additional tag (e.g., #yyj or #uvic), then feel free! See you soon!

A few suggestions / requests for sessions.

1. Using DevonThink & related software to organize ideas, materials, content, &c.
2. Teaching with Twitter, both outside and inside the classroom.
3. Big Ideas for teaching an intro-DH course.

Finally, Jentery (& others): THATCamp Victoria needs a unique hashtag, something like #thatcampvic.
