This book, aimed at researchers, students in the humanities, and educators, highlights all dimensions and the methodology of crowdsourcing in Digital Humanities, presenting an innovative proposal for its application in modern teaching of humanities subjects in secondary and tertiary education.
Crowdsourcing is the practice in which groups of people are invited to provide knowledge—which is deemed necessary in a certain domain—goods or services. In Digital Humanities, new processes and technological methods for acquiring and disseminating scientific knowledge are developed within the framework of Digital Technology.
This monograph introduces crowdsourcing to the Greek educational community, showcasing case studies of crowdsourced projects from various countries and scientific fields, categorizing their characteristics, referring to the theoretical and methodological foundations of the Humanities, which researchers focus on in the new digital environment, and thoroughly presenting their specialized digital tools.
At the same time, it explores, within the framework of pedagogical approaches to humanities subjects, the areas in which the introduction of the crowdsourcing method can effectively serve the educational goals of the modern school.
