There are now a number of universities offering courses in digital history. When you look at individual syllabi, however, there is quite a variety in approaches or topics covered. If you were given the task of designing a curriculum or a series of courses to be taught alongside more traditional history courses, what would you include?
Let's say it's a series of 4 courses, one per semester over 2 years, that begins with first year students (undergraduate freshmen) with a goal of producing digitally "nimble" history students or even digital historians (feel free to define both of those!). How would you balance theory, general information literacy skills, projects, programming, etc? What would be the "must include" pieces and which would be the ideal? What mix of lecture-based, active learning/project based, discussion/seminar, online/face-to-face/hybrid or other configuration would you build?
