Finding digital solutions to problems in scholarship and learning.

What is the DRC Forum?
What is the DRC Lab? DRC’s directors, programmer, and web designer work directly with Hofstra faculty to develop their research projects into interactive online sites that promote collaborative scholarship, critical thinking, and learning in their fields of study. In doing so, we also develop cutting-edge digital tools—such as TextLab, Itinerary, and Hofstra’s version of Annotation Studio—that can be adapted for use beyond the individual project. To learn more about all elevent DRC faculty projects, visit http://hofstra.drc.org.
We sponsor conferences, speakers, workshops, and other events, including our annual DRExChange, on the campus of Hofstra University to promote digital communities, scholarship, critical thinking, and learning. Each Spring DRC Forum hosts Digital Research Exchange (DREx), which brings regional and national digital scholars to campus for lectures and a symposium on current issues in digital humanities research.
