KNOWLEDGE AND DIGITAL ASPECTS OF STUDYING HUMANITIES

Abstract

The field of humanities as an integral part of all spheres of life is
undisputed. As such, the humanities both hold the question and the dynamic answer
to the position of digital knowledge and production. On the one hand, the study of
humanities shows how students respond to having the study material available digitally
and on the other how the technological advancements work to respond to the needs
of new generations of teachers and learners. This paper illustrates the connection
between knowledge and the digital aspects of the humanities. ln particular, it looks
into the context of digital humanities maintaining that digital humanities can be seen
as a two-way street in both establishing and providing information, knowledge and
skills.
