Blog Post- Due Friday, July 15
When asked about your digital scholarship project, you may only get a few minutes, or even seconds, to explain what you are working on. Write an elevator speech for your project, hitting the main points of what you are researching, and how you are presenting it in a digital format. Don’t dwell too much on the technical aspects. Think about the different situations you may be in where an elevator speech may be important, and how you could customize your speech to different audiences.
