I’m unfortunately missing THATCamp Prime/this awesome session to attend DHSI, but I can share the webpage linking to my slides/files/notes from teaching “Omeka for Textual Scholars” as an Society for Textual […]

Amanda Visconti wrote a new post, O rocks! Tell it to us in plain images (A THATCamp/Bloomsday Visualization), on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

Some results from the Bloomsday hack session, where we discussed small digital Joycean projects we might take on that day and continue working on over the following weeks:

We decided to create a dataset that […]

Amanda Visconti wrote a new post, O rocks! Celebrating Bloomsday DH-Style, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

Saturday is Bloomsday! It strikes me that we might put our DH nerdiness to more direct Joycean use than simply deciding which Ulysses t-shirts to wear. I propose using this post space to discuss possible […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, Comic Books + Playing with Scholarship, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

This idea rocks! I’m excited about the possibilities of mixing successes from existing visually-focused genres–games, comics, e-lit–to produce more dynamic and participatory written scholarship. In my own work, […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, Designing the Ultimate Tool[Kit] for Studying Videogames, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

This is an inspiring proposal–I’d love to see more of these dream-big sessions. So: a quick list of my dream features for the ultimate digital videogame-teaching tool:

1. an online lab space for […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, Hackathon, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

I am so very interested in this, and I’m not planning on attending any Friday workshops.
There’s a chance I might need to miss parts of the weekend, though; does the lab have a setup that would be good to share […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, A Better Blogging Assignment, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

Really useful proposal–especially since I already use Mark’s great blogging rubric (http://www.samplereality.com/2009/08/14/pedagogy-and-the-class-blog/) when I teach digital literature. This makes my assessment […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, Suggestions for someone who feels a bit intimidated…., on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

1) Kazoos will fit right in. People do go to a pub in the evening to socialize, but drinking is not required (well, there is a lot of coffee-drinking during the day…)
2) DH is blessed with a wonderful byproduct […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, WordPress at the University, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

This is a great idea! I have a list of “standard Wordpress inclusions” (plugins, hacks, and pieces of code) I use on all the WP sites at my DH center, and I’d love to compare this with other people’s lists of of […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, Match make/ paper prototype nifty visual interfaces for particular kinds of digital objects and collections, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2011 right now

Great idea! Very interested in how we can allow different ways of exploring online cultural heritage collections through visualizations and non-traditional navigation.

I’m interested in ways of getting around […]

Amanda Visconti commented on the post, Where are the mini-yous? , on the site THATCamp CHNM 2011 right now

I’m teaching undergrads, not K-12, but I think there’s an interesting overlap in how we present DH (both as a community open to students, and as a set of skills) to younger people who may not be aware of DH as a […]
