Post by 9am on Monday, June 10<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Using the discussion of \u201cWhat is DH?\u201d that we did on the first day, as well as the Amanda Visconti piece<\/a> we read this week, what does your DH look like<\/strong>? How would you adapt this definition to fit your understanding of the Digital Humanities, and your expectations of DH?<\/p>\r\n Lunch will be provided for the DSSFs<\/p>\r\n Project management and documenting your processes is an important part of developing a digital project. Today, we will discuss \u00a0how to create a project charter, begin a timeline for your project, and look at ways to document the creation of your project so others can see how it was made.\u00a0Guidelines for the charter are available at the\u00a0Project Charter<\/a> page. This will be a living document, of sorts; as you research your topic and think about ways to present and visualize your project, things may change. However, getting a good basis for your project is important.<\/p>\r\n Organizing your research is an important part of this fellowship; today we will discuss some strategies for using\u00a0Zotero<\/a>, a free tool that helps you manage, share, and cite your resources. Bring your laptop if you have one, so you can set up Zotero the way you like it (otherwise, use a lab computer).<\/p>\r\n Readings and Assignments<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Visconti, Amanda.\u00a0\u00a0“A Digital Humanities What, Why & How”<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n Lunch will be provided for the DSSFs<\/p>\r\n Visit Special Collections and College Archives (Musselman Library, 4th floor) to learn about metadata and how important it is for digital collections and digital projects.\u00a0 You will hear about how Special Collections creates and manages metadata for its digital collections and you<\/em> will be creating metadata for The Vietnam Memory Project<\/a>, so please bring your laptops.\u00a0 We will discuss\u00a0 the role of archives in the Digital Humanities to consider the differences between digital repositories or collections and Digital Humanities projects as well as the difference between digitization and preservation.<\/p>\r\n We will take time each Friday to reflect as a group and share our successes and failures of the week behind us, and expectations for the week ahead. What was a breakthrough? What are you proud of accomplishing? What didn’t work out as planned?\u00a0 What needs some more attention? As a community of practice we will come together to see how we can support the work we are all doing and prepare for the next steps.<\/p>\r\n Steve Krug, web usability expert, writes:<\/p>\r\n People often ask me: \u201cWhat\u2019s the most important thing I should do if I want to make sure my site or app is easy to use?\u201d The answer is simple: It\u2019s not \u201cNothing important should ever be more than two clicks away\u201d or \u201cSpeak the user\u2019s language\u201d or \u201cBe consistent.\u201d It\u2019s\u00a0 \u2026 \u201cDon\u2019t make me think!\u201d<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n Unfortunately, in order for your user to not think, you have to think a lot about user experience. Today, we’ll talk about the importance of design and writing in your digital projects. We will also work on wireframes for your projects; a wireframe is a mock-up of a website, a way to sketch out the design and hierarchy of a website before getting into the technical details of creating pages; it\u2019s an important step in determining how you want your users to navigate your digital project.<\/p>\r\n So you found a great image or document online and want to use it in your project \u2026 but can you? Today, we\u2019ll look at how copyright law affects digital projects, and how the idea of \u201cfair use\u201d can be leveraged to include the content of others. We will also discuss ways to open your own projects up so other people can use them through licensing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Reflective Essay #1 Post by 9am on Monday, June 10 Using the discussion of \u201cWhat is DH?\u201d that we did on the first day, as well as the Amanda Visconti piece we read this week, what does your DH look like?
