Conceptualizing Your Digital Project

  • DS 101: Conceptualizing your Project. This workshop offers an overview of different scholastic outcomes, objectives, and deliverables to take into account when conceptualizing your digital project. Discussed approaches include how to demonstrate the scholarly rigor of your digital project, accurately credit the labor required of the project at every stage, and provide evidence and metrics for promotion and job dossiers.
