Are you planning a digital project in the humanities, social sciences, or arts? New to managing a research project? Maybe you're a scholar managing your own project, or you're a research assistant or staff member helping keep things organized, on time, and within budget? In this one hour online panel discussion, our two panelists, Dr. Krinitsky and Dr. Cruz, who have unique and valuable experience with large, successful, multi-PI, grant funded, research projects will share their stories and experiences in managing digital research projects. Then, you will be able to ask questions of, and get real world advice from the experienced panelists so you can apply it to your own digital research project planning.

Digital Scholarship 101: Conceptualizing Your Digital Project (September 28, 2022 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98680 98680-21797059@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 28, 2022 2:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

Conceptualizing a digital project so that the research goals guide the technology and project, instead of the other way around can sometimes be difficult. In this workshop we will cover conceptualizing a research project with specific scholastic outcomes, objectives, and deliverables. Then, high-level tasks will be conceptualized and mapped to releases, versions, or editions of the project. Discussed approaches will include how to demonstrate the scholarly rigor of your digital project, accurately credit the labor required of the project at every stage, and provide evidence and metrics for promotion and job dossiers.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.

About the Digital Scholarship 101 workshop series:
This series of workshops helps scholars avoid outdated projects, unpreserved knowledge, uncredited labor, and privacy or consent issues by emphasizing process in the project life cycle. Workshop participants learn how to conceptualize the life cycle of a project using human-centered design and backwards modelling when planning their projects to better understand how to version, archive, and preserve their research projects. Throughout the series, thematic questions around sustainability, preservation, accessibility, privacy, consent, grant requirements, and teaching with research will be examined. We encourage you to come with a project in mind and bring materials if available, but is not required to attend.

What is digital pedagogy? In this workshop we’ll define digital pedagogy and discuss how to apply digital methods critically. We’ll cover the advantages and potential complications of using technology in the classroom. We’ll also introduce you to a range of digital tools and techniques to use in teaching, provide examples from our experience as instructors at the university, and work together to think about how we could apply digital pedagogy in our individual fields.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.

DIY Digital Scholarship: Timeline JS (November 18, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100624 100624-21800155@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, November 18, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Technology Services

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.

Data, what is it, how and why is it managed, and why do granting agencies care? In this workshop we will talk about what counts as “data” from various definitions, including the National Endowment for the Humanities. Participants will go over the ethical concerns and considerations covered and answered by a data management plan, as well as the practical skills needed in developing and writing a data management plan. This workshop will cover topics such as collection and storage, consent agreements, and contingencies for sensitive information and data. At the end of the workshop, participants will understand how data management plans can help protect and archive their research, help with the IRB process, and contribute significantly to the sustainability of their project.

A Zoom link will be emailed on hour before the workshop.

You’ve heard about “accessibility,” but do you know what it means for your project? This workshop will teach you how to make your project — both its products and processes — accessible to all. You will learn principles, standards, and techniques for developing digital projects that are equitably accessible to people with a range of abilities/disabilities, technologies, and backgrounds. For grants that require projects to meet accessibility guidelines, you will learn to develop an accessibility plan for applications. As a result of this workshop, participants will understand how and why accessibility matters in digital projects, and will have resources to use and refer back to as projects progress.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.

Please join us for the final workshop in the DS 101 series, which brings it all together. You’ve got a great plan for your research project. It’s conceptualized, and you know how you’ll manage the labor, materials, and information. How do you describe the value of your project in your CV or when you are up for review? And how will people know about it and find it once it exists? Building upon the themes in the DS 101 workshop series, this workshop will discuss how to communicate the successes and impact of your digital project to make it legible to fellow researchers and university administration. This session will provide guidance on how to best communicate and highlight to external and internal stakeholders the deliverables and anticipated outcomes of your project.

Note: This workshop will be held on Zoom. You will receive a reminder and a Zoom link one hour before the workshop.
