In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Kathryn Tomasek. Dr. Tomasek has been exploring the use of digital tools to enhance student learning since 1992. She began to use XML compatible with the guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative in assignments requiring transcription and markup of primary sources in 2004. As part of the Wheaton College Digital History Project, students in her courses do original research with documents from the founding period of the college. Tomasek’s research project, Encoding Financial Records, received a Start-Up Grant from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2011. In this episode, we spoke about TEI, teaching, and complexities linked to digital humanities in the classroom and beyond.
