Description:

This workshop is the first in a three-part series on presenting your work online. By integrating a number of digital components through three distinct but iterative workshops, participants will become conversant with several different digital presentation strategies so as to represent a text, image or object with clear authorship and citations. The first session will focus on graphics, specifically how to create graphics and what to consider when you’re conveying meaning through images and design. Before participating in this module, participants will be expected to watch online tutorials accessible via Lynda.com (see below for links).

Skills and Competencies Covered:

Upon completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Analyze a digital object by asking questions about that work’s author, argument, creation process, presentation, and medium of choice.
2. Use digital tools to edit, remix, and create media.
3. Recognize the physical and legal limitations, and obligations, associated with disseminating digital media.

• Instructors
• Graduate students / TAs
