Fundamentals of Digital Scholarship introduces participants to the core stages of digital scholarship’s research workflow: the acquisition, manipulation, analysis, and presentation of data. This seminar serves as a springboard for faculty, students, and staff who wish to explore the potential of digital scholarship. It will provide a solid foundation from which participants can continue to develop these skills whether on their own or through a series of advanced, subject-specific follow-up seminars.

Introducing multimedia assignments into a class for the first time can seem intimidating. In this workshop, jointly offered by Academic Technology for FAS, Arts and Humanities Research Computing, and the Bok Center for Teaching and Learning, we will help you remediate an existing assignment in Scalar, a free, open source authoring and publishing platform designed to make it easy for authors and instructors to create born-digital scholarship online. Scalar enables users to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose...

In his paper "Tidy Data," Hadley Wickham riffs on Tolstoy: "Like families, tidy datasets are all alike but every messy dataset is messy in its own way." When we spend 75% of our "analysis" time cleaning and preprocessing data, it makes sense to focus on strategies to standardize our data.

In this workshop, we will focus on correcting common errors in collected data and (re)structuring datasets to facilitate analysis. We will be using OpenRefine and...

Are you interested in using data visualizations to explore your data or as part of your research output, but unsure of where to start? Are you already using data viz, but want to learn to create more effective presentations with different applications or programming languages?

Consider attending Visual Eloquence, a participatory workshop on visualizing data and understanding the powerful role it plays in analysis and presentation for digital scholarship. The workshop will feature brief presentations, a hands-on exercise working with a dataset and visualization...
