Brian Croxall wrote a new post, Jekyll (AKA static-site generators), on the site THAT CAMP New England 2017 right now

This afternoon (Friday, 24 March) I’m going to be working through the tutorial on Jekyll from The Programming Historian. I’d be interested in a session at tomorrow’s camp to talk about Jekyll and other static-site […]

Brian Croxall wrote a new post, Workshops that I can teach at the drop of a hat, on the site THAT CAMP New England 2017 right now

I know that THATCamps are participatory and informal, with “no lengthy proposals, papers, presentations, or product demos.” That said, I know from my experience attending Camps that people are often interested in […]

Brian Croxall wrote a new post, Multi-campus teaching projects, on the site THATCamp New England 2014 right now

The last two times I’ve taught my Intro to Digital Humanities course, in 2011 and in 2014, I included an assignment that responded to Mark Sample’s 2011 blog post, “The digital humanities is not about building, […]

Brian Croxall commented on the post, Serendip-o-matic (almost) one year later, on the site THATCamp New England 2014 right now

We could also talk about the different tools that we used to make the different parts happen. That can get down in the weeds or remain at a high level.

And I think that we could probably talk a lot about […]

Katina, will you be looking to this session to help develop survey questions as well or is that work already done?

Brian Croxall commented on the post, Mapping/Spatial tech idea session, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

Abby, you might look at the Mapping the Republic of Letters project from Stanford as well for an idea of what would be possible given world enough and time.

Brian Croxall commented on the post, A Better Blogging Assignment, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

I love this session idea and it sounds like something we could actually accomplish in 90 minutes.

To answer Roger’s question, one of the ways I developed an audience for my students’ blog posts last year was […]

Brian Croxall commented on the post, not quite a session proposal, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

There’s also the Zotero group that Lisa Spiro has put together–https://www.zotero.org/groups/digital_humanities_education–and the collection of syllabi assembled by people at […]

Brian Croxall commented on the post, How the Sausage is Made: Transparency in Scholarly Research Online, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

I’d suggest that if we want to cultivate an audience then we can’t go about worrying if UPs will decide we’ve already put too much information online. The mechanisms of the university and the public are fairly […]

Brian Croxall commented on the post, WordPress at the University, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

This sounds really useful, especially as we at DiSC have finally got Emory to agree to a better WordPress installation and are negotiating about the different plugins that we will want to have available to everyone.

7 Wonders would be a great choice!

Brian Croxall commented on the post, Twitter/Meta "Session" — THATCamp/DH Jargon, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

An intro to Twitter almost sounds more like a workshop than a session; but I’d be happy to help with something like that, and I’d be interested to watch for #jargon.

Perhaps what you’re seeing here, Patrick, […]

Brian Croxall commented on the post, little bit'a coding, little bit'a conversation, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

While I don’t know that I have much to contribute to the conversation, it sounds like something fascinating to listen to. I’m curious about the coding, however. What was the advantage of moving to static sites and […]

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

This looks like a fabulous session, Mark, and I love the ideas being floated here. Amanda’s idea of a cultural history of people’s first exposure to videogames has me thinking about an assignment I could throw at […]

And…I just threw The Resistance into my bag. Were it not for these games, I’d have everything in my backpack for this trip.

Brian Croxall commented on the post, Just Playing Around, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2012 right now

@Jana: Apples to Apples is a lot of fun, but my set is also way too big and heavy to bring in the carry on.

@Kimon: Food and beverage might be an appropriate accompaniment…if we can keep Tom from flipping the […]

One of the great things about an unconference is that we can make them what we want them to be. It’s true that the theme of a THATCamp is an emphasis on the combination of The Humanities And Technology, something […]

Brian Croxall wrote a new post, THATCamp Junior Session Outcomes, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2011 right now

It’s taken me a week to recover from the hotness that was #thatcamp and the inanity that was #thatcamproadtrip. But I’ve finally had a chance to write up my thoughts about the THATCamp Junior session that I […]

Brian Croxall commented on the post, Meaningful Play in Cultural Heritage, on the site THATCamp CHNM 2011 right now

I’m into it. And I think that Andrew’s idea about using mobile devices for data collection could play well too.

I’m also interested in thinking broadly about building a framework for easy geolocative data. How […]
