This five-day course featured a range of presentations on cutting-edge web-based technologies by members of Wolfson and the OERC, among others. Presentations from Wolfson members included advice on delivering impact in grant applications for digital humanities projects by the former Director of the AHRC's ICT Programme, David Robey, and web analysis of musical structure by David de Roure. 

Guest lectures from digital humanities experts addressed subjects ranging from crowdsourcing, to working with audio and video, and XML coding. Practical considerations were also covered, with sessions on managing digital humanities projects, and another demonstrating ways in which digital resources can be used to measure impact, with a Toolkit for the Impact of Digitised Scholarly Resources.
