The creation of digital resources for teaching William Faulkner’s fiction, followed by their integration into pilot courses for undergraduate and high school students.
Teaching and Learning William Faulkner in the Digital Age seeks to harness the resources of the NEH-funded Digital Yoknapatawpha project for classroom teachers at the high school, community college, and four-year college levels by creating targeted lesson plans that help teachers apply the data tools of Digital Yoknapatawpha to specific Faulkner texts. The amount and configuration of data available in Digital Yoknapatawpha can be daunting for users unfamiliar with the digital humanities, and this project seeks to demystify digital humanities and help non-specialists use the site in teaching the most commonly assigned Faulkner short stories and novels though a series of virtual workshops.
