About us

We are the DL-Office-Team at the Faculty of Humanities. We are here to advise and support teaching at our faculty with digital tools and methods. As a service provider, we are helping to shape the UHH's ‘Twin Transformation’ strategy. To this end, we work closely with partners at the faculty and the UHH to further optimise our digital services for our teaching staff:

• Integration into the faculty under the roof of the Digital Office Humanities, which brings together our team, the DH Lab, IT Humanities, and the Media Centre
• Integration into the DL network of the University of Hamburg

• DL-portal of the University of Hamburg:
  With references to important services, initiatives and resources concerning digitally supported teaching, the central eLearning portal gives teaching staff at UHH.

• forTEXT – Exploring Literature Digitally (in german) (external link):
  In the forTEXT project, a collaborative research environment for humanities scholars is being developed. The focus here is on the two most important activities of hermeneutic text indexing: text annotation and text analysis. forTEXT - which is initially being developed on the basis of the needs of literary scholars - aims to open up direct, low-threshold and functional access to digital methods above all for humanities scholars working in a more traditional way.

• Digital Propaedeutic Course (DigiPop):
  The Digital Preparatory Course provides knowledge on digital research and work in the humanities. The content is structured as modular ‘living documents’ and is continuously expanded. Access is available by modality or subject area. You can access the Digital Preparatory Course from the UHH network or via VPN.

• e-teaching.org (in german) (external link):
  e-teaching.org is a comprehensive and clear "information and advisory tool for (tele)media-based university teaching". With compact introductions and in-depth PDF long texts, it covers all relevant topics of e-learning project management. Voice and video recordings of expert interviews on fundamental topics and current trends can be accessed. There are also references to current calls for tenders and events, a growing community area and a database with examples of successful eLearning.
