You are cordially invited to join the Centre for Digital Humanities 2026 Webinar Series, presented by Koos de Villiers. This webinar explores how students can move beyond simply consuming digital content to becoming active digital creators. Mr Koos de Villiers will consider how Digital Humanities approaches can be incorporated into communication, education, encouraging students to engage with digital tools and practices in more creative, critical, and meaningful ways.
Topic - From Digital Consumers to Digital Creators: Embedding Digital Humanities in Communication Education.
The Digital Humanities webinar series is an initiative dedicated to fostering a thoughtful, inclusive, and critically engaged environment for dialogue concerning digital humanities (DH) practices, debates, and future directions. Conceived as a platform for emerging leaders in the support, researchers, and teaching and learning environments, the series encourages participants to share experiences, experiment with new ideas, and articulate the questions that inform their work. Instead of endorsing a singular model of digital scholarship, the webinars emphasise conversation, collaboration, and reflective practice, while recognising the uncertainties, ethical challenges, and creative opportunities inherent in DH across varied institutional and social contexts. Through regular meetings, the series seeks to cultivate a dynamic and sustainable community of practice that learns collectively, forges networks across roles and disciplines, and contributes to the development of more equitable and imaginative digital humanities.
