2026 Outstanding Digital Humanities
In an era in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly reshaping the educational landscape, the humanities have not diminished in importance; rather, their significance has become increasingly evident.
To encourage educators to actively engage with digital transformation and to explore innovative pedagogical practices, the Digital and Humanities Education Association, together with Education Network, and the Shanghai-Hong Kong Development Institute, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Fudan University, jointly present the 2026 Outstanding Digital Humanities Teaching Plan Competition.
This initiative seeks to promote excellence in digital humanities education and to foster interdisciplinary dialogue on the future of humanistic teaching in the age of AI.
Theme
Humanistic Values and the Future Classroom in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
The Competition invites high-quality teaching plans that effectively integrate AI technologies, data analysis, and digital tools into classroom practice. Submissions should demonstrate how digital approaches can enhance students’ multi-perspective thinking, information literacy, critical reasoning, and innovative capacity.
