Description
This hands-on workshop explores the playful, experimental side of digital humanities with Decker, a platform created by John Earnest in 2022. Decker is easy to learn, fun to work with, and facilitates sharing work individually, or in group and classroom settings. It can be used to create interactive fiction, digital poetry, e-zines, or games, with text, sound, drawings, photographs, and animations. It can also be used for scholarly purposes, such as presentations and interactive essays.The interface and "dither-punk" graphics were inspired by HyperCard, the highly influential Mac application from the late 80s. Decker has inherited that retro look and feel but re-imagined it for contemporary browsers and touch screens. That constrained approach is one of the design strengths of Decker.

Part One will cover the basic features of Decker and how to start using them. 

Part Two will cover more advanced features and provide time to look at any of the participants’ work-in-progress.

This course can be counted towards the Canadian Certificate in Digital Humanities/humanités numériques. More information at: https://ccdhhn.ca/.
