About
The use of technology in the arts and humanities is developing at an astonishing speed. For all of us this can feel a bit overwhelming. It shouldn't be at all! DAHL's aim is to help us all keep up in a friendly and accessible way, to develop our digital capablities in ways that fit with our academic, career, and personal interests. DAHL does this through a program of events, videos, podcasts, articles, and project support. The DAHL Shorts sessions are designed to give explain and contextualise key tools and techniques, in ways that are beginner-friendly but also demonstrating how you can quickly start to apply them in your practice. Complete enough of these and you get the DAHL Certificate. It's not "credit bearing" but it is well respected. We know of alumni using their certificate experience to help them to get jobs and opportunities at prestigious universities like Harvard and Edinburgh, as well as Warwick.

Report
- Report - write or record a short report on your use of technology in the Arts and Humanities. For example, you might write about how you encountered Miro, understood what it might do for you, learned to use it, and worked out how to apply it to your needs. Or you might write about creating an Omeka based web site. You can write about work-in-progress, or a completed project.
