Resources for Teaching and Learning

The slides, lecture notes, handouts, and other materials here were developed by the WWP for the workshops we teach, but they can also be a starting point for self-guided study in text encoding and analysis. They are made available here for public reuse under a Creative Commons license. For versions of these materials that were used in a specific seminar or workshop, please visit the site for the event in question.

The presentations and tutorials below are authored in a customized version of TEI. You can view the slides and lecture notes, and also download or view the source TEI. We also offer more information about the schema and stylesheets used for authoring and working with these materials.
