Charlie Evans, Project director, and Yitna Firdyiwek, external evaluator
These are the parts of the initial proposal that was submitted to the National Endowment for the Humanities in the fall of 2006 (*.pdf format).
The interim project report (*.pdf format) was submitted to NEH in December 2007 and covered activities in the spring, summer and fall semesters of 2007.
The final report (June 2008) briefly recapped the entire project but mostly focused on the spring 2008 meetings and the final workshop projects of participants. All sections of the report listed here are in *.pdf format.

- will receive one course reassigned time that can be used either in the fall or spring semester. You can also opt for a stipend of $1,500 in lieu of the reassigned time.
- must attend all of the workshop sessions (see the tentative schedule) which will held in the Reston Center (just off the Dulles Toll Road), room 309, on Friday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30
- will be expected to prepare a short project as a result of participation in this workshop. Some possible projects: detailed ideas for course revision to include new-format humanities materials; a proposal to undertake a digital humanities project based on one of the models examined in the workshop; ideas for disseminating workshop models and ideas to a broader college audience; suggestions for new classroom techniques for teaching with digital humanities materials. The project director and visiting scholars will be available for consultation with participants on their projects, and all project personnel will be able to exchange ideas through a web-based discussion forum.
- Since the proposal is funded by he National Endowment for the Humanities, the workshop is restricted to faculty who teach in the humanities (very broadly defined). If you have any question about whether your teaching field is included, please contact me (cevans@nvcc.edu).
- Send your application, by email, to Charlie Evans (cevans@nvcc.edu), Division of Humanities, Loudoun campus
- As your application, include a short statement of how the workshop will affect your work in the humanities, the url of your home page, an explanation of your prior use of the web, a short note of support from an administrator (dean or provost) and a list of courses taught in the humanities and related fields.
- Faculty will be chosen for participation based on their commitment to the workshop theme, possession of a recommended level of technological competence; the appropriateness and feasibility of how participation would enhance their teaching and study of the humanities, their intent to complete a relevant project and their willingness to help disseminate results of the workshop.
