Digital Teaching Units - Gender in History

The Digital Teaching Unit pages are a repository for collections of digital resources developed by project affiliated scholars.

Our scholars are working on a number of interrelated web-based collections concerning women and gender in history.

Each collection consists of a searchable database of primary and secondary sources of texts, translations, images and sounds. Pedagogical materials such as syllabi, reading lists, lesson plans, classroom exercises, study guides and a variety of other information are also available through our VRB web sites.

As the Virtual Resource Bank begins to acquire its own distinct persona, we will begin adding to a directory of VRB websites. For now, plans are being made for the following content areas:

=== Integrated Research Environment (IRE) ===

IRE begins with a search engine that connects the user to the area of the digital collection most relevant to the user's interest. This provides scholars and students with a powerfully efficient, analytic tool for studying texts and images. The documents formatted for IRE can be tagged with supplementary information, scholarly works and links to other locations in the collection. This database can serve as a local file for private or personal use, can be shared to publish results of a research project or to distribute a lesson plan for a class. IRE has been developed by and for scholars and teachers for use in collaborative research and instruction, allowing for a seamless and painless integration of technology into the humanities.
