DIY Digital Scholarship: Timeline JS
For humanities, arts, and qualitative social sciences
In this DIY Digital Scholarship workshop, we will be discussing how to make timelines using Knight Lab’s Timeline JS. Timeline JS is an open-source and no-cost tool that builds interactive timelines with a range of media using nothing more than a Google Spreadsheet. The timelines can be shared by a direct link or embedded in web pages. This introduction to Timeline JS will be a hands-on workshop and participants will create a timeline using images, audio, and video. Furthermore, this workshop will provide best practices for accessibility, writing for the public, and including Timeline JS in the classroom. No previous experience is needed for this workshop but participants should have access to a Google account and Google Drive. Media and materials for the timeline creation will be provided.
A Zoom link will be emailed to participants before the workshop.
Workshop Series:
This workshop series tackles the question, what would your digital scholarship be if you were an independent scholar or no longer affiliated with the University of Michigan. What tools and platforms can you use to do your research or publication with a computer and an Internet connection? The different workshops in this series will cover learning skills and techniques to communicate information, ideas, and interpretations in a digital format with open access lightweight, portable technologies. Each workshop will focus on a different tool that has no direct cost to users and is straightforward to take with you if/when your affiliation with the university ends. DIY, or “do it yourself” for this workshop means that the tools covered have an emphasis on “making” or “crafting,” independence, and are no-to-low cost. Furthermore, while we are using DIY to describe these tools, there are elements of DIT (do it together) and all these tools have a large supportive community with comprehensive documentation and user guides. Often learning these tools can make you a more adaptable and flexible digital scholarship researcher, and allow you to pick new tools more quickly. This series of hands-on workshops are compatible with and complementary to the DS101 workshop series.
