Teaching Resources

There are many valuable encoding resources, in print and online, that we bring into the classroom to facilitate the teaching and learning of the TEI. As part of TAPAS Classroom, we would like to develop a resources page and bibliography to guide students and teachers toward such information. We invite you to contribute information and discussions around the resources you use in your instruction and course preparation.

We welcome all forms of feedback, questions, and conversations--we look forward to learning more about what resources you use with your students, and how and why you use them!

Are there important scholarly publications or practitioners of the TEI you regularly reference in your teaching or in preparation for your instruction? How do you introduce your students to the scholarly conversations going on within or coming out of the TEI?

This is a great question... I realize that most of my TEI teaching is in the context of workshops where the audience is faculty/staff and graduate students, so they may be more tolerant of reading things that are slightly out of their depth. The publications I commonly recommend include:
--the Journal of the TEI, http://jtei.revues.org, is a great place for in-depth articles on TEI but can be a bit specialized
--the Blackwells Companion to Digital Humanities (http://digitalhumanities.org/companion/) has several articles on markup and TEI that are useful orientations for beginners

I hope it's not immodest to mention that Syd Bauman and Sarah Connell and I have an introductory chapter on TEI forthcoming in Doing Digital Humanities (ed. Crompton, Siemens, and Lane)--I think it will be really helpful for beginners.

I'll keep thinking about this and see what else I can come up with.

What online resources or projects do you use in helping students locate introductions, examples, or best practices of the TEI? Are these in the form of documentation, encoding tutorials, model TEI projects, etc?
