Lisa SpiroThe hub of all this innovation exists online, at a Web site relaunching today from its new home at the University of Richmond and dubbed the History Engine.
The site is the product of several years of development and successive iterations. The core idea is to create a resource for students to search and browse written tidbits — what historians behind the project call “episodes” — and to contribute their own entries to a growing online ecosystem that is connected via semantic links, time stamps and geographic tags (with mapping functionality on the way). This “moderated wiki,” as Ayers describes it, provides a basis for classroom learning, while its public nature — a particularly direct form of peer review, perhaps — energizes students in their research.wiki digitalhistory digital_humanities students collaboration
