The Baladria Summer School has been initiated by the Linnaeus University (Sweeden), precisely the iInstitute from the iSchool affiliated with the Digital Transformation Knowledge Environment, and is organized in collaboration with the Department of Information Sciences at the University of Zadar (Croatia).
The aim of this summer school is to learn about digital research methods to address research questions from the humanities. The course gives an overview of the impact of digitisation on the way research is conducted, an insight into a range of the different digital methods, as well as an awareness of difficulties related to the methods/tools. The course will cover several methods/tools, with students engaging in hands-on activities and sharing their findings throughout the course. In the final project of the course, the student has the option to focus on specific digital methods and tools.
Most teaching is conducted online using the current online teaching platform with obligatory one week of in-person teaching at the University of Zadar in Croatia. Students will be responsible for arranging and covering travel and accommodations costs. Teaching comprises lectures and workshops.

If you're wondering how to tell time on a clock with hands, especially if you're teaching a child, interactive online tools can be a fantastic resource. These virtual clocks often allow you to manipulate the hands, see the corresponding digital time, and sometimes even offer little games or challenges to practice reading the clock. It makes the learning process much more hands-on and visual, which is often more effective for kids than just explanations. It’s a great way to build that foundational skill in a playful way.
