Digital Scholarship Day 2020
Our seventh annual Digital Scholarship Day will be the first to be held virtually. To make it more accessible to all members of the Wellesley community regardless of location or other responsibilities, this year’s Digital Scholarship “Day” will span the months of May and June, with a formal launch after projects and data have been collected for presentation.
We invite students, faculty and staff to share digital scholarship that they’ve worked on this year, at any stage of completion. Examples of topics and media could include:
New teaching techniques or innovative assignments you’ve developed (either before or during COVID)
Student research - independent studies, thesis research, innovative class work
Any research/presentation you had originally planned on sharing in another conference
Video of you talking about your work/research
Digital poster originally intended for Ruhlman or some other conference
How-to video on a topic of your choosing
If you have a project or expertise you’d like to share, please email it to dsday2020@wellesley.edu and include a brief description. Submissions will be published on the DS Day website in June.
