This unique book is a goldmine for humanities academics wanting to incorporate digital content into their teaching. In accessible, non-intimidating style, the book and its companion website take you by the hand and guide you through practicalities and logistics. Using it has revolutionised my undergraduate teaching. * Simone Murray, Associate Professor in Literary Studies, Monash University, Australia *
