On 26 June, Dan Weiss, Kościuszko Foundation Visiting Professor in the Department “Artes Liberales” at the University of Warsaw, will be holding a roundtable on digital humanities in the museum. Contributors will showcase how digital humanities have been implemented into public institutions and the effect digital humanities have had on engaging visitors, community outreach, and augmenting or altering dominant paradigms. The range of topics includes, but is not limited to, virtual galleries, virtual and augmented reality, 3D scanning technology, student engagement and empowerment, asynchronous pedagogical tools, and interactive learning. Our goal is to showcase and discuss how digital tools have been effectively used in the museum and the classroom, substance over style, and hopes and visions for the future of museums, galleries, and related pedagogy.
