Abstract: The study of informatics typically includes information visualization and the rhetoric of user
interface. Such courses are expanding the core computer science curricula towards multimedia
communication design. However, to practice visualization on datasets in a non-focused way may
diminish the quality of educational effect as well as the quality of the results of students' projects. A
collaboration with domain experts has proven to be very beneficial by involving students in various
research projects and platforms. The students of informatics at the Faculty of Computer and
Information Science, University of Ljubljana, have touched upon humanities projects in different
special domains: the datasets provided by Institute of Contemporary History (INZ, Ljubljana),
interface design for electronic scholarly editions based on TEI XML files, documentation of new
media art exhibitions, and others. As noted by some contributors in A New Companion to Digital
Humanities (2016) with relevance to the latter aspect of interdisciplinary contact, the domain of new
media art constitutes an essential inspiration for the study of digital humanities methods and
approaches. In the second part of the paper, the multi-year collaboration between the University of
Nova Gorica and University of Ljubljana computer-science curricula will be presented. The
WomenWriters database, as well as subsequently the NEWW VRE, has been used in different models
of interdisciplinary collaboration.
