Attended a very interesting workshop today at the University of London on Digital Humanities. From the time, I have taught a course in International Institute of Information Technology, IIIT in Hyderabad this area has always attracted me and I continue to be involved with digital formats like E. Pathshala, Moodle etc. I feel that digital humanities and Social Sciences an academic field concerned with the application of computational tools and methods to traditional humanities disciplines such as literature, history, and philosophy can definitely enhance our knowledge systems and make knowledge more accessible to a large number of people. Through this medium both traditional knowledges like Literature, History advance scholarship. There is so much one can do with digital humanities.
