HILT Crowdsourcing Slides and Exercises for Monday

Session 2: links to find a project you love! For non-English language projects, try Crowdsourcing the world's heritage.

Prompts for thinking about projects:

  • How clear was the purpose of the site? How well was it reflected in the 'call to action' and other text?
  • How easy was it to get started?
  • Were the steps to complete the task clear?
  • How enjoyable was the task?
  • Did the reward (if any) feel appropriate?
  • Looking at the site overall, does the project appear to be effective?
  • What is the input content? What is the output content?
  • What validation methods appear to have been used?
  • Who is the probable audience and what motivates them to participate?
  • How does the project let participants know they're making a difference?
  • Does the site support communication between participants?
  • How was the site marketed to potential participants?
  • Did the site anticipate your questions about the tasks?

NEH Fellowship for the Polis Center Institute on 'Spatial Narrative and Deep Maps: Explorations in the Spatial Humanities'

I was awarded National Endowment for the Humanities Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities Fellowship for the Polis Center's Institute on ''Spatial Narrative and Deep Maps: Explorations in the Spatial Humanities'. In their words, "this two-week intensive institute brings leading scholars from around the world to explore how deep maps can support relevant issues in spatial humanities".

A sneak preview of some of our prototyping work is available at Interface designs for deep maps: a presentation from #PolisNEH to #UCLADH.  Some of the discussions about deep maps were captured in a post I wrote on Open Objects after the first week, 'Halfway through 'deep maps and spatial narratives'…' and a post on the project blog for the last day of the Institute, Catch the wind.

Other posts written by participants include:
