Abstract

ArcGIS is an online tool which allows users to create and curate digital StoryMaps which contain a variety of geographic points, text, images, and web links. Instructors can turn to this software for a variety of uses in the humanities classroom, including incorporating a sense of place and movement to the study of various genres of texts. Through ArcGIS, students can create digital artifacts which bridge the gap between text and the world around them in alternative assignment sequences which include substantial writing and research components and offer more potential for creativity and collaboration than the standard argumentative essay.
