DIGITAL HUMANITIES TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG STUDENTS OF HIGHER INSTITUTIONS IN LAGOS STATE
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background Of The Study
Digital Humanities (DH) is an imaginative practice harnessing cultural, social, economic, and technological limitations for the purpose of bringing systems
and objects into the world. Digital humanities work in the middle of digital technology and humanities disciplines (Daniel, 2014). The digital humanities has
so far encountered drastic and enticing growth over the past years, expanding across a number of academic fields and, in the process, assisting to reshape
and reframe discussion and deliberations about the nature of scholarly research, peer review and publication, and academic promotion and tenure. Digital
humanities already yield more than four-hundred thousand unlike results in a Google search (Blanke, 2014).
Since all the processes of digitization are processes of remediation, understanding the identicalness or sameness of binary code, digital file formats, the
movement of analogue materials, and the character of born-digital materials is very important to understanding digital environments. Networked conditions
of exchange play other roles in the growth and enhancement of digital humanities and other digital projects. Standards and practices introduced by
communities form another important part of the technical infrastructure embody cultural worth (Houndmills, 2014).
