DigiCoP: Digital Community of Practice
DigiCoP is a community of practice dedicated to innovative teaching and learning with technology within the Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH). It provides a collaborative space for lecturers to explore, share, and critically reflect on digital and technology-enhanced approaches in the humanities.
DigiCoP brings together colleagues across Schools and Faculties to:
- Share practices and experiences in teaching with technology
- Explore new digital tools and computational methods
- Foster collaboration and interdisciplinary engagement
- Reflect on both successes and challenges in technology-enhanced teaching
Throughout the year, DigiCoP hosts a series of online sessions, titled DigiCoP Investigates, where participants engage with emerging trends, tools, and questions related to digital teaching and learning. In addition to online engagements, DigiCoP also hosts a yearly face-to-face event on each campus.
The 2026 programme included:
- Padlet Workshop
A hands-on session that explored the latest features and possibilities of Padlet for teaching and learning with the NWU licence. - Teaching with Technology Showcase

- Tools and approaches they are experimenting with
- Lessons learned, including challenges and failures
