This poster showcases three deployments of virtual reality kits and 360º video design for undergraduate classrooms. It features three examples. The first utilizes a browser-based application that allows users to upload media and view them in a 360º environment. The other examples showcase VR storytelling techniques with consumer-grade 360º cameras.

This paper reflects on three interdisciplinary undergraduate digital humanities courses that featured study abroad trips to Rome, Italy and collaborative approaches to student-focused digital projects. Faculty presenters are housed in Digital Humanities, New Media, and Religious Studies, and co-developed courses that prioritize methods for researching, documenting, and visualizing placed-based discourse.

With this paper we would like to reflect on Proyecto Humboldt Digital's strategy for building digital capacities –that is, learning new skills and methodologies at an individual and organizational level– through collaboration. The international collaboration established in Proyecto Humboldt Digital (ProHD) has not been limited to carrying out a technical workflow but continuously organizes the exchange of research activities and experiences, and builds on a wide set of both internal (team oriented) and external (community oriented) training activities. Despite restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, short stays in both Havana and Berlin have taken place since 2019 as well as monthly meetings in virtual format; more recently, in 2022 an international DH conference and a workshop about digital scholarly editions took place in La Habana (Cuba) organized by the team members. During these encounters, we were able to define software requirements, present our main results, share the main issues and progress made in retrospect, and plan our following activities in order to publish online a collection of texts related to Alexander von Humboldt's trip to Cuba in the 19th century.

An early-stage study analysing the present and future of DH curricula, pedagogy, and practices in the Indian context. The project uses a case study method to comment on the pressing issues, and also proposes development of a curricular framework basis the data collected during the study.
