Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

It is available in hardback, paperback, and ebook (ePub and pdf) formats as of October 5, 2017.
The website can also be used as a free, stand-alone resource since it gathers links, tips and articles on topics related to teaching with digital humanities tools, ideas, and methods. The book and the website are both designed to be introductory in nature: they're intended to open up the field of digital humanities as it pertains to the classroom. We focus primarily on the practical, everyday things that might help you and your students have exciting and rewarding pedagogical experiences. Enjoy! We plan to update this companion every year in September, so if you have suggestions of articles, links, tips, tricks, or other things you think we should add, please feel free to contact us with your recommendations!
