The report details essential sections: project background within a disciplinary framework, data acquisition and sources, tools utilized, new skills developed, and personal reflections on the learning experience. Key aspects include intellectual property issues, tool selection rationale, and collaboration dynamics.

  1. HIST*4170Project Report Criteria 12 March 2013

  2. Recall: TheProject Parameters • Capstone project: “intensive, active learning project, requiring significant effort in the planning and implementation, as well as preparation of a substantial final work product” • Final work product = • Your project itself – website, etc. • Project Report (due April 9th) • The following elements should be detailed in the project report • If they are in the project itself, or on a blog post, then you can refer to them.

  3. Project Report I. Project Background • Position your project in your disciplinary framework • Refer to relevant Digital Humanities ideas or theory • Review cognate projects • In what way/ways is it a digital humanities project? • Discuss your main goals (Engagement, Pedagogy , Research, or Educational) and how your planned to achieve it.

  4. Project Report II.Data Acquisition • Discuss the sources and data for your project, and how your project created new source/data, or re-purposed and/or modified existing data • Were there any intellectual property issues? III. Tool application • Discuss which tools you chose to use for your project, and why. • Were alternatives explored – if so, why were they unsuitable? IV. New Skill Development • Describe the new skills you developed.

  5. Project Report V. Reflection • In the final section, reflect on the project and what you have learned from it. Consider areas such as: • How you did (or did not) push yourself into unfamiliar academic, methodological and technological territory • Your time commitment – was it enough? • Your level of engagement • The challenges of self-directed learning • What you learned about the possibilities or limitations of digital humanities • Availability of resources (University of Guelph, online) • The value and challenges of collaboration • (I expect this will be a larger section for the chapbooks project participants, who should also informally evaluate your peers’ contribution and comment on group dynamics)
