Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Issue 27 Teaching History with ChatGPT: A minimalist Approach to Critical Digital Pedagogy by Kera Lovell This article discusses collected data taken from history undergrads which serves to emphasize success in deploying generative AI tools like ChatGPT to foster historical inquiry. Rejecting AI as either savior or threat, assignments framed generative tools as scaffolding for critical engagement, not automation. Instructor-designed “AI Tasks” synthesized AI literacy and digital archival skills, with basic principles of historical research and analysis, including building annotated bibliographies, visualizing oral histories, and analyzing primary sources. Keywords: artificial intelligence, AI, digital history, information literacy, critical digital pedagog

Next up from Issue 27: Kera Lovell covers how ChatGPT can be used for historical inquiry and bolstering digital archival skills in a History course. She argues that AI can be framed as a scaffolding tool for critical engagement, rather than an automation of the thinking process. #digitalpedagogy

An image with text from Matthew N. Hannah and Gabriel Hankins' "Introduction" to JITP Issue 25. The texts states: "Where and how does DH fit into all these historical crises of political, economic, social, and ecological processes? How can political economy help us remap the contours of a field uniquely poised to leverage an immanent critique of the neoliberal technological determinism of our moment? Despite substantial investment from digital humanists in advancing the field to include more critical engagement on questions of identity, race, gender, sexual identity, and colonialism, we believe that a dedicated emphasis on the political economy of DH as a field, as part of the digital mediation of the university and economy as a whole, has yet to be fully theorized. We hope this special issue will generate further theory and discourse about the political and economic dimensions of the field, especially as it pertains to activism and pedagogy."

From the brand new Issue 25 of JITP:

In their Introduction, Matthew N. Hannah and @gabrielh.bsky.social examine the political economy of DH in an effort to assess how the field has responded or could respond to the multiple crises of our moment
