What is Digital Humanities? 
Digital humanities is an academic discipline that explores the intersection 
between digital technologies and culture.
It emerged from the humanities, which 
study aspects of human society, and include well-known popular subjects, like history, 
philosophy, literature and modern languages. 
As a new and emerging field, digital humanities aims to open up new areas for 
research in these subjects and to explore traditional questions in a different way. 
For students, this could mean looking at culture, language or history through a 
digital lense; or using computer skills to better analyse and understand humanities data. 
Digital humanities has 
grown in popularity 
in recent years, and while not every 
academic is convinced it is worth the hype - or that digital tools actually provide the 
best insight into humanities topics -, it is only likely to become a more relevant field in 
an increasingly digital world. 
Speaking about the specifics of humanitarian technologies, let's start with the 
fact that this kind of technology has its own purpose. Firstly, it is humanitarian 
technologies that are aimed at the implementation of humanistic values in education. 
Secondly, depending on the specifics and nature of the actions of the subjects of the 
educational process, the structure of these actions, humanitarian technologies, on the 
one hand, create differences in the means used to solve educational problems, on the 
other hand, determine the uniformity of requirements in their development and 
application. Thirdly, the use of humanitarian technologies ensures the formation of 
socially significant qualities that are necessary for any person, regardless of the level 
of education received, the profile or nature of professional training. Due to the 
widespread use of such technologies, the type of behavior in organizations, families, 
and at the level of relations in general between people of different social groups, 
nationalities and cultures can change significantly. Fourthly, through humanitarian 
technologies, a real opportunity for the manifestation of a humanitarian style of 
thinking and humanitarian culture is embodied in the subjects of the educational 
process in the implementation of a social role - a student or teacher, student or teacher 
of higher education. Fifth, humanitarian technologies complement other educational 
technologies used in educational practice - technologies for organizing cooperation, 
joint group or collective activities, favorable communication and communication, co-
creation and teamwork. Sixthly, humanitarian technologies serve as a means of 
updating and developing the value-semantic sphere of subjects in the process of 
learning and communication, harmonizing educational, professional and life values, 
striving and readiness for self-knowledge of their intellectual, professional,

organizational, leadership, creative capabilities and ways to implement them. . 
Seventh, humanitarian technologies contribute to the formation of a humanitarian 
educational environment in general. Their significance lies in the fact that with all their 
options and means they form and affirm in the minds of all subjects of the educational 
environment the idea of the highest value — Man.
