GhentCDH supports teaching activities and educational projects in the Arts and Humanities faculty. Whether you have a project idea in mind or are curious about incorporating digital tools into your teaching, we are here to assist you.
These are this year’s educational projects that have enriched teaching and learning experiences at Faculty Arts and Humanities at Ghent University.
Educational projects 2024-2025
- Beeld als Historische Bron (Images as historical sources)
Since 2020, the students of prof. Anne-Laure Van Bruaene and prof. Berber Bevernage have been using Omeka S as a platform for analyzing and showcasing historical images. They use digital storytelling methods to critically analyze and exhibit the images.
- Schrift, bestuur en administratie in de Middeleeuwen en Vroegmoderne Tijd (Writing, governance and administration in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period)
In prof. Els De Paermentier’s class, students venture into the archives to gather medieval sources. Using Omeka S, they exhibit their findings and research, transforming traditional archive assignments into digital exhibitions.
- Verleden Week (History Project Week)
During the History Project Week, curated by students of the Public History Master, two projects used Omeka S. Van Swyn tot Wijk mapped toponyms on a historical map of Zwijnaarde, and Schelde Gemapt mapped changes in the landscape surrounding the Scheldt river.
- Boekgeschiedenis en digitale menswetenschappen (Periodical Poetry)
In prof. Marianne Van Remoortele’s class, students analyzed poetry in the magazine Votes for Women (1907- 1915). After collecting and enriching (trabscribing, metadating, and annotating) the magazine in Madoc, students created case studies using Omeka S.
- History of Photography (Visions of the 19th Century)
In dr. Marie Auger's class, students focused on an exploration of the photographic collection of the Royal Museums of Art and History. Using Omeka S, a virtual exhibition complemented the exhibition at the Vandenhove Studio.
- Thesis African Studies
Students of the Master African Studies were introduced to Omeka S to write a short summary of their thesis as a way to engage the general public.
