Professor Alma Heckman, Neufeld-Levin Chair of Holocaust Studies and Assistant Professor in History and Jewish Studies, now regularly invites her students to create digital final projects – framed as online exhibits.
These assignments encourage students to create structured arguments through digital mapping and engagement with digital objects. For students interested in creating non-linear narratives or in learning new digital tools find a lot of success and welcome the opportunity to create a web-based project rather than a paper.
