Spring 2012 Workshop Schedule
As part of a full slate of digital humanities-related events, the Digital Scholarship Commons (DiSC) is reprising its series of digital scholarship workshops.
This year, we're offering all of our workshops twice: once on Monday afternoons and once on Thursday evenings. No need to come to both (unless you want a double-dose!).
Register for one, two, or all of the workshops!
Remote Collaboration: Making it Work Across the World and Interwebs
Mon, February 6, 12-1 -- Research Commons, Woodruff Library (3rd Floor)
Thurs, February 9, 6-7 -- Research Commons, Woodruff Library (3rd Floor)
Join DiSC Grad Fellow Moya Bailey in exploring digital tools that aid in collaborating across distance. We will identify different platforms for sharing work and discuss different processes for developing practices of collaboration with colleagues in other places. Please set up a google account if you do not already have one to get the most out of this workshop.
Creating an Online Presence: Take Control of Your Online Personality
Mon, February 13, 12-1 -- Research Commons, Woodruff Library (3rd Floor)
Thurs, February 16, 6-7 -- Research Commons, Woodruff Library (3rd Floor)
You already have some sort of online presence: a department profile at the very least. But what if you want to take a more active role in shaping the representation of your research and teaching? This workshop will cover three basic principles for shaping your online identity and help you put them into practice. We'll discuss professionalizing your Facebook account, bumping your Google search results, and why anyone would bother with Twitter.
