THATCamp

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

I also agree that beginners want an instant answer rather than a resource to consult. They need the experience of building their own vocabulary in dialogue.

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

I think you are right–you need to get them onto twitter before you can get them using that resource. At my last intro workshop, I made all participants get on twitter, but it took a while. And I had to give […]

We created a storify of the definitions we published via twitter from the session at #THATCamp #LAC 2012 on defining and distinguishing between Digital Humanities, Digital Teaching and Digital Pedagogy: <a […]

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, More Hack Guide, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

We, the #feralcats of THATCampLAC 2012, want to support the motto of more hack, less yack at THATCamps. To help THATCamp participants hack, we’ve compiled this More Hack Guide both as a handbook for hacking […]

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, THATCampLAC2012 Folder in Google Docs, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I created a THATCampLAC2012 Folder within the THATCamp folder in Google Docs.

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Official THATCamp Folder for Google Docs, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

There is an official folder to put google docs generated in our sessions. Here is the main THATCamp folder.

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, Data visualization tools, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I’d like this session, too. I’d like to link it to the need for students to learn about big data and think about how to teach them visualization tools, as well.

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Less Yack, More Hack, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

One of the mottoes of THATcamp is Less Yack, More Hack. This means we focus on doing along with our talking, which distinguishes THATcamps from most other conferences. For example, DHCommons came out of a session […]

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Womens Studies and DH, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I’ve had a request for a Digital Scholarship Seminar on Womens Studies and DH. I’d love some help in planning this online seminar. Who would be a good speaker? Let’s write a description.

This could be combined […]

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Crowdsourcing, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

Ben Brumfield led a great session on crowdsourcing at THATCamp Texas 2011. I’d love to see that session again. In addition to talking about it, we could try our hand at one of the many crowdsourced manuscript […]

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Digital Humanities Glossary, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

Let’s crowdsource a glossary of digital humanities jargon. One of the challenges for digital humanities newbies, is all the jargon. Help the DH community figure out what it’s jargon is. When you hear a term you […]

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, annotation of texts in the digital realm, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I’d be interested in this session, especially thinking about it from the user’s point of view and as a way to engage the general public. Two relevant pieces came out of the “Shape of Things to Come” conference on […]

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, DH Collaboration: LACs, R1, and Cultural Heritage Institutions, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

As you might expect, Jacque, I’m definitely for this idea!

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, Strategies for broad-based adoption, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I’d like to discuss this, too. This is one of the core goals of NITLE’s Digital Humanities Initiative.

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, Session Idea: Natives Without Literacy, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I think you’re right about this; students are comfortable with digital tools but they don’t push them as far as faculty do. That’s probably true for any tool; for example, faculty are more sophisticated book […]

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, [Session Idea] DH Swiss Army Knife: What's in your tool kit?, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

I love the idea of tool sharing.

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Digital Humanities MOOC?, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

Growing numbers of digital humanists don’t have access to digital humanities centers. While they may get energized at a THATCamp, it’s hard to sustain that energy back on the home campus. The vibrant online […]

Rebecca Davis commented on the post, Intermediate Digital Humanities Professional Development, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

The digital humanities session at the NITLE Summit also discussed this idea of a digital humanities road show specifically aimed at small liberal arts colleges. I think the thrust was more having those LACs who […]

Rebecca Davis wrote a new post, Digital Humanities Open Textbook, on the site THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2012 right now

More and more faculty are offering Introduction to Digital Humanities courses. What would a textbook look like for such a course? What about an open intro to DH resource/textbook that would let you mix and match […]

There are a growing number of resources and opportunities available to introduce academics to the digital humanities. My colleague, Lisa Spiro has written an excellent piece for newcomers, “Getting Started in […]
