Collaborative Digital Projects Lab (CDPL)

When and Where?

During the semester:

Tuesday: By Apt.
Wednesday: 2-5pm in Stokes S394 (fishbowl)

What are We?

Have digital humanities (scholarship related to digital anything) ideas you want to talk about or think through? The new 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–but not all!–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’s work (think peer editing and grading)
  • General bouncing ideas related to digital things and scholarship
