Studio Space in the Library for Digital Humanities

An active learning classroom breaks down some of the stiffness and formality and facilitates a learning community ethos--working together in class can generate the collective helping spirit endemic to much DH work. Think of a hackathon, where not only the teacher but also students could move among groups in order to help the project teams get their work done. It's amazingly hard for busy students to find meeting times outside of class, and so much good sharing and peer learning is lost when the only connection is email, and the work is divvied up according to who already knows how to do x,y,z.
