A TOOL FOR DIGITAL SOURCE CRITICISM: TEACHING PLATFORM Ranke.2
The critical interrogation of a historical source has always formed the basis of historical scholarship, but now that the web offers us seemingly unlimited access to retro-digitised and born-digital sources, it is necessary to update our skills. To be able to ask the right questions to what appears on our screen after a search on the web, we need some mathematical and technical understanding of digital phenomena.
The teaching platform Ranke.2 has been developed at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History at the university of Luxembourg, to cater for this need. It consists of a number of modular lessons on how to apply source criticism to sources in digital form. Each lesson deals with a specific kind of source, and offers a short animation, a quiz, and a number of assignments. Teaching aids are also offered that can be downloaded and printed. The resources is freely available without the need for an account, and in the good Luxembourgish multilingual tradition it is also possible to access the French and a German version.
