There are very few project-based courses in the humanities compared with science, engineering, and the social sciences. Does that put digital humanists at a disadvantage when it comes to building teams for projects? What are some good techniques for pulling disparate groups (scholars, undergrads, coders, artists) together to tackle an innovative problem in the digital humanities? What are the roles of the traditional university units and activities (e.g., the library, a freshman seminar, an art exhibit, academic computing) in helping to hatch such collaboration? Come contribute a case study (of success or failure), lessons learned, a new project looking for partners, your best source for developers willing to explore new fields, or any other thoughts and experiences that bear on this topic.
