  1. Project Unconference Arts and Humanities in the Digital Age

  2. Concept

  3. Define Concept ● Using the Post-It notes provided, create the following categories: ○ Project aim(s) ○ Research question(s) ○ Digital collections/data ○ Methods ○ Evidence of current skills, knowledge and expertise ○ Expected output(s)

  4. Group Discussion ● Within your group, discuss your concept ● Other members of the group can feed back comments on: ○ Strengths of the project (e.g. research questions, solving a problem...) ○ Weaknesses of the project (e.g. data availability, scope and focus...) ○ How to address possible weaknesses

  5. Revise Concept ● Taking into account the risks identified, redraft the original concept using the categories ● Elect one member of your group to type up the concept in a new document and shared electronically with the group (either by e-mail or using a cloud- based service, e.g. Google Docs)

  6. Planning

  7. Project Milestones ● 28 January 2019 – identify data by the Data Preparation and Management workshop, and bring a sample with you to the workshop ● 11 February 2019 – apply what you have learned at the Data Preparation and Management workshop to your data and bring it with you ● 28 February 2019 – carry out preliminary analysis of your data using the methods from the Python workshop; evaluate your progress so far ● 11 March 2019 – carry out further analysis; reflect on what story you want to tell with your data ● 1 April 2019 – carry out analysis on your entire dataset; bring it with you ● 3 May 2019 – present your final results and reflect on the research process

  8. Team Roles and Responsibilities ● Now that you have considered all of the tasks, you will need to think about how to assign them ● Discuss your current skills, knowledge and expertise and see who would be able to carry out certain tasks immediately or in the near future (e.g. accessing a dataset) ● Consider who in the group might be able to undertake other tasks (e.g. creating a list of appropriate software that can be used to undertake analysis, or drafting an ethical approval document if the project might require it, or setting up a project website or blog) ● Note that some roles and responsibilities in the group may need to change over time, but ensure that you mark on your Post-It notes who will responsible at each milestone

  9. Communication ● As a group, agree on a minimum number of contact points over the period of this programme and your milestones. Weekly contact is useful, even if only an e-mail exchange or Skype conversation. It doesn’t have to be in person ● Ensure that you each have a record of your group members’ contact details: full name, e-mail address, telephone number or Skype username ● Ensure that you are all aware of the project milestones and that these are in your diaries or online calendars

  10. Introducing GitHub

  11. Why GitHub? ● GitHub is useful for recording your activities, writing, code, data and analysis and acting as a repository for key files so that others can use them ● GitHub is built around Version Control , which distinguishes it from Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and other online sharing platforms, allowing ○ reversion of changes ○ multiple in-progress versions ● There are different levels of privacy settings, but the default setting is public ● You can utilise (or clone in GitHub-speak) other creators' materials
