The TriCo Digital Scholarship Research Institute is an intensive, cohort-based learning program developed and taught by the TriCo Libraries Digital Scholarship Group. Over the course of two days of workshops, discussions, and project showcases, participants gain experience with fundamental digital scholarship tools and methods but also explore project support and grant opportunities in the Trico and beyond, crafting potential projects and digital assignments, and wayfinding through the maze of possible tools, services, and platforms for digital research. All TriCo faculty and staff are welcome to apply, whether they are new to digital scholarship or interested in taking existing skills to the next level.
Where The Digital Scholarship Research Institute will be hosted at Bryn Mawr College in Benham Gateway Conference Center.
When Tuesday, May 7, 2024. Workshops and events will be held 9:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M..
Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a beer and wine reception with hors d'oeuvres will be provided.
This year's workshops will include "Web Publishing with GitHub Pages" and "Desigining Digital Scholarship Assignments" (see below for descriptions).
Because an essential aspect of the DSRI is building community among Tri-Co faculty members interested in digital scholarship, we ask that participants commit to attending the full day of workshops and events.
Space is limited, so please register by April 1, 2024.
RSVP hereGitHub Pages is a popular, free option for publishing static websites. This workshop will introduce participants to the Github Pages ecosystem – including git, markdown, the GitHub platform, and a bit of html and css – and explore why it may be a good option for a personal website or digital project. We’ll also discuss some of the social and environmental considerations at play when choosing web platforms, and why static sites are faster, more sustainable, and more secure than sites created by content management systems (such as WordPress or Google Sites). Participants will also gain hands-on experience publishing, editing, and customizing a GitHub Pages site.
What is digital scholarship and what can it do in the classroom? This workshop will demonstrate how to plan and execute student-centered digital scholarship assignments from scaffolding to assessment. We will introduce a suite of easy-to-learn tools that students can use to build interactive and engaging digital projects, while emphasizing the critical evaluation of both the tools and public-facing products (for example, digital exhibits/timelines, interactive maps, and multimodal publications). We will discuss models for planning, providing feedback, and assessing digital scholarship assignments.
