Working on a digital dissertation or interested in doing one? The Digital Dissertations Accountability Group is open for those working on digital dissertations and ITP projects. The group meets on a hybrid modality every other week.
GC Digital Initiatives has created this group as a space to support each other, exchange ideas, and create community!
Social annotation offers an interactive way to “open up” a text, allowing students to contribute highlights, comments, and responses directly in the margins. This transforms the text into a collaborative learning space for deeper analysis, interpretation, and enrichment. This workshop will introduce participants to two platforms for integrating social annotation into their courses: Manifold and Hypothesis on CUNY Academic Commons.
Facilitated by Cen Liu and Maura McCreight, Manifold Fellows, Graduate Center Digital Initiatives.
Omeka is a free Content Management System (CMS) and a web publishing system built by and for scholars that is used by hundreds of archives, libraries, museums, individual researchers, and teachers to create searchable online databases and scholarly online interpretations of their digital collections. If you have a set of digital primary sources that you want to publish online in a scholarly way, you’ll want to consider Omeka. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to understand some of the conceptual challenges faced when developing digital archives and create an online database of digital archival items.
In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with QGIS, a free and open-source platform. We’ll explore how to visualize, analyze, and interpret spatial data, allowing you to uncover patterns and relationships in your data. Whether you’re new to mapping or looking to enhance your skills, this session will provide you with the tools to get started on your own projects.
Teaching online classes can feel daunting and complicated. Sometimes you are just lecturing to a screen of black boxes, and finding ways to keep students engaged requires fun and creative solutions. This workshop will explore various online tools that you can employ to capture students’ ideas, make class more exciting, and create a more collaborative online classroom. We will go over programs such as FigJam, Mentimeter, Padlet, and more! This workshop is great for students and faculty members who are teaching online for the first time, or for those who are looking to expand their teaching toolbox.
Curious to learn how to use Manifold for your projects? Join us for an Introduction to Manifold workshop where you will learn how to create beautiful, dynamic, multimedia digital projects that can include text, images, audio, video, and social annotation.
We will provide an overview of Manifold, including the new authoring feature, and demonstrate how it is being used at CUNY to create Open Educational Resources (OER), such as custom versions of public domain texts, multi-text course readers, class projects, and journals.
Location: Zoom (Advanced registration required)
Audience/Prerequisite: Beginners; no familiarity with Manifold needed
