From faculty perspective
Prof. Willeke Wendrich….

“Students felt they created something meaningful, which
was then published online for the whole world to see.
For some students this was a transformative
experience and the reactions were surprisingly
emotional.
Especially the publication part was something that
was much appreciated, as was the experience with
team work and learning new practical skills.”
UCLA

From library perspective
We are observing more group
work in the Research
Commons

Programming
Reservations
Observe and evaluate
UCLA
16

Take-aways
Engage with faculty in creating
meaningful assignments that are based
on real research
Demonstrate the process of doing digital
scholarship – making it as open and transparent
as possible
Utilize Digital Humanities projects to
engage students in course content as
they also learn practical skills

UCLA
19

Challenges, or the road ahead…
Will this success repeat? Was the first time a rarity?
When we teach the class again in the Winter, will we
see the same results?
Can we measure our success? (core DH courses may
require a different ratio of practical skills and content)
How can we scale this approach to include more
courses?
What other forms of engagement can be similarly
fruitful?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The major renovation of UCLA’s Young Research Library included the addition of a Click 1reading room (with the reference collection),Click 2 a large conference room (with seats for over 100),Click 3 -- and a cluster spaces referred to as the “Research Commons.” Many of these new spaces were outfitted with large monitors and projectors for displaying digital content. The Research Commons was designed for small groups. Click 4It includes three instructional spaces, Click 5Laptop Lending areaClick 615 group study rooms and Click 620 “pods”
  2. See if we can find a sleeper, or people studying individually – monitor not on.
  3. New library spaces were utilized to great effect.  Although initially we hadn’t planned to host courses in the “commons”, we found that modeling the intended use was the most effective way to articulate our vision.  Although this is labor and resource intensive, we are convinced that by committing to dedicating our time and resources we get the best results.
