My enthusiastic vote for an intro to GIS for humanities and Zotero.

Like the idea of scholarly communication and institutional resources
#3 by Greg Kosc on January 20, 2012 - 4:38 pm
I would be interested in distance learning and the intro to GIS for the humanities
#4 by Bradley J Borougerdi on January 20, 2012 - 8:53 pm
I like the GIS for Humanities, Machine-base foriegn language translation, distance learning, and e-book creation

Like many of the other respondents, I’m excited about GIS for Humanities; it’s a new area to me, but one I think is important and useful. But my first priority is XML and text encoding.

I’d be interested in Zotero, XML, and screencasting.

I will add my voice to the chorus of GIS advocates, and i also would like the XML workshop.
#8 by Laurel Stvan on January 28, 2012 - 5:26 pm
XML and Zotero! I know a bit of both and am ready to hear what works well for others. Also, any thoughts on managing copyright aspects when gathering more contemporary documents.
#9 by Deborah Kilgore on January 30, 2012 - 2:07 pm
I agree with the chorus- GIS, Zotero and XML. I like Laurel’s point about copyright management.
#10 by Carol Lea Clark on January 31, 2012 - 11:41 am
I’d be interested in ebook creation, GIS, and or text encoding. I may need to clone myself, if you offer more than one.
#11 by Jessica Murphy on February 1, 2012 - 11:07 am
Good point, Laurel, about copyright issues. I would love to hear about how people handle this.

I would definitely attend an R workshop. And I found the Regular Expressions workshop last year to be incredibly useful – – I’ve relied on what I learned there many times in the months since.

They all sound great but the ones that first captured my interest is Distance Education and machine translation. In regards to open source content, it would be interesting to look into in regards to sharing research and moving away from publishers’ management of it.
#14 by Richard Leslie on February 9, 2012 - 9:45 am
Open source content management systems, zotero, and distance learning are my three top choices. We are looking to implement more DH pedagogy, with projects, into our classes here.
#15 by katherine pandora on February 13, 2012 - 9:39 am
e-book creation, most definitely as well as frontiers and technology in scholarly communication for me! GIS and video would be among my top choices also.
#16 by Curt Rode on February 24, 2012 - 5:24 pm
This may fall outside the interests of the group, but in addition to e-book production, I’m interested in talking about the use of new media tools in creative writing classes.
#17 by stacy.chen on March 1, 2012 - 8:13 pm
I’m particularly interested in Zotero, screencasting, and frontiers and technologies in scholarly communication from the list above.
