Blog post #1: Due 9/9/16

Welcome back! As Digital Scholarship Fellows, you will be working with students and faculty to provide mentorship and support for digital scholarship projects, and also be evangelists of digital humanists. Thinking on being part of these classroom projects, as well as participating in the Bucknell Digital Scholarship Conference, and continuing your own projects, how can you expand your digital humanities community of practice? What are strategies you can use to promote the work of digital scholars as being legitimate classroom activities?

Blog post #2: Due 10/7/16

Everyone has now worked with different students and faculty on digital scholarship projects, to varying degrees. What has been rewarding about working on these projects? What has challenged you? How do student peer mentors (you!) provide a unique perspective on these projects and how they are created and taught?

Blog post #3: Due 11/4/16

Reflect on your experience at the Bucknell Digital Scholarship Conference. What did you enjoy? What did you learn? Did you make any interesting connections? How has your concept of the digital humanities community of practice changed as a result of being part of a formal conference?

Blog post #4: Due 12/2/16

Read Teaching Teachers in the Age of Trump by Roopika Risam. In light of recent activities on campus, the creation of the What We Did Here website to collect materials related to student activism, and your own experience working with classes on digital projects, think about this quote from Risam: “look at who is in front of you, identify their needs, teach accordingly.” How do we teach digital scholarship accordingly? How do we do digital humanities for those who are in front of us? What has been valuable about your experience this semester to you, both as a student, and now peer mentor/teacher?

Digital Tool Review: Due 10/21/16

Fellows will write one 500-word review of a digital tool of their choosing. Tools may be chosen from a list provided to the Fellows, or a tool they choose on their own. The same digital tool may be used for one of the tutorials or guides created later in the fellowship. Fellows are encouraged to select a tool they are actively working with, either for a personal project, or for a class. See the Digital Tool Evaluation guidelines for additional information.

Digital Tool Tutorial: Due 12/9/16

Fellows will create a digital tool tutorial or guide that shows how to effectively use a tool in a digital scholarship project. Depending on the scope of the tool selected, either a general overview can be provided, or assistance with a specific aspect of the tool can be covered. The cohort of Fellows may elect to collaborate on one digital tool to create a more comprehensive guide.

Fellows are encouraged to create guides that provide a level of interactivity or multimedia engagement, such as videos or websites. Educational Technology can assist with supporting the creation of these guides.
