This group is for students and instructors in the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) Course no. 12, Open-Assembly Teaching, Making, & Publishing: COVE Editions & Studio. 

This course will introduce the open-assembly teaching and making tools at the nonprofit COVE (Collaborative Organization for Virtual Education), which anyone, anywhere can use without having to learn to code. COVE is a scholar-driven, open-access platform that publishes both peer-reviewed material and active-learning or “flipped classroom” student projects built with our web-based online tools. COVE operates as a two-fold platform: Studio, where instructors can create anthologies of primary works that can then be made available for multimedia student annotation, and Editions, which hosts published and private editions, galleries, maps, and timelines, and facilitates peer review. DHSI students will learn the COVE toolset and principle of “open assembly,” or free, transformative remixing of texts, items, and archives. They will build an anthology (in COVE Studio) and begin an Edition, Map, Gallery, or Timeline (in COVE Editions) that they can easily complete afterwards. They will then share these projects with the DHSI community.

This course combines lecture, seminar, and hands-on activities. Consider this offering in complement with Designing Digital Publications, Critical Making as Scholarship, and Conceptualizing and Creating a Digital Edition.
