I would like to propose a THATcamp session where I discuss the versatility and useability  of TEI, by comparing aspects of three TEI-projects I was involved in: the Streuvels letters and the correspondence between Gust Gils and Paul Snoek (both in the Centre for Scholarly Editing and Document Studies (CTB) of the Royal Academy of Dutch Language and Literature), as well as the DABNAP (Digital Archive of Belgian Neo-Avant-garde Periodicals) project from the University of Antwerp. With this, I hope to provide insight in the many ways in which TEI can be useful within a library context, as wel as provide some insight in TEI and markup language itself.

If scholarship is constantly changing as a result of new digital tools, resources and methods, why shouldn’t academic education evolve along? This session will concentrate on the usefulness of integrating digital tools and digitised (re)sources in academic trainings and courses (Bachelor and Master). By way of introduction, some applications that already serve as a pedagogic tool within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities will be clarified and discussed.

Subsequently both lecturers and instructors, students and other participants will be invited to share their own experiences about the opportunities and limitations they are faced with during their digitally supported teaching and learning process, and to take part in the discussion on the expectations, needs and requirements for the development and management of digitally based educational support in general, and virtual learning environments in particular.

We hope to meet you on Tuesday,
Els and Nina
