What do you do when you are an instructional designer and also do DH? This paper shows the intersections of good online course design with digital humanities pedagogy.

At the 2019 Digital Humanities Conference in Utrecht, the authors launched a survey designed to answer the question “Who Teaches When We Teach DH?”. In this short talk, we will present and discuss some of the findings.
