Improving digital literacy in secondary schools through Transkribus

Transkribus has real potential in the secondary school classroom — and this talk shows how to get it there. A dedicated teaching platform offers ready-made lessons, prepped sources, videos, and guidance for history and literature teachers, lowering the barrier to bring HTR into their courses. Students gain historical consciousness, digital literacy, and a sense of purpose — all at once, and at whatever level of technical depth suits the lesson.
