Have digital humanities (scholarship related to digital anything) ideas you want to talk about or think through? The Collaborative Digital Projects Lab (CDPL) is a new space for scholars at all levels to explore and develop their ideas about scholarship with digital aspects, be it textual analysis, charts and tables, or mapping.

A couple 鈥� but not all! 鈥� the things we love chatting about:

  • Advise on project development
  • Data Visualizations with bar charts, word clouds, tree maps in Tableau, Excel, etc.
  • Mapping and Storymaps with ArcGIS, Leaflet, or Knightlab
  • Podcasting and audio editing
  • 3d modeling
  • Giving feedback and evaluate on people鈥檚 work (think peer editing and grading)
  • General bouncing ideas related to digital things and scholarship

Mission Statement

The Digital Humanities Certificate Program Group established a Collaborative Digital Projects Lab to provide a space on campus for humanities 艾可直播and graduate students to explore collaborative, team-based approaches to digital pedagogy, research, and its communication to the broader public.

The Lab provides a core for establishing connections and partnerships both within and outside of BC. The lab will be explicitly interdisciplinary, drawing in students from diverse departments who will have the opportunity to both apply and further develop their skill sets designing and developing innovative research and classroom activities. This group will become a sounding board for 艾可直播and group members to develop guidelines for an expanded range of Digital Humanities classes as well as discuss project evaluation, assisting with the growing demands for support in DH which the digital humanities graduate certificate program has created.
