This document discusses engaging undergraduates in digital scholarship projects. It describes several organizations that support digital learning like AAC&U and their General Education Maps and Markers initiative. It provides examples of digital learning tools like the Open Learning Initiative at Carnegie Mellon. The document outlines a scaffolded curriculum moving from using digital tools to contributing to and producing digital tools and resources. It gives examples of digital scholarship projects undergraduates could participate in, like text analysis, generating online exhibits, citizen science apps, and collaborating on faculty projects. Overcoming barriers to these projects like awareness, collaboration, and experimentation is discussed.
