Your Music Choices Can Predict Your Personality - Based on a study in 36,000 ...Slidehelper.com
A researcher surveyed over 36,000 people across more than 60 countries to rate different musical styles. The results showed that musical preferences are linked to aspects of personality. People who liked the same types of music tended to have similar personality traits. The study provides evidence that the music we enjoy reveals something about our individual personality characteristics.
Using 21st Century Tools to Teach LiteratureMary Hillis
This document discusses using various 21st century tools to teach literature, including Google Images, Google Maps, blogs, Twitter, Wordle, Pinterest, SlideShare, YouTube, and Blackboard discussions. It provides examples of how students can use these tools to explore settings from Sherlock Holmes stories on Google Maps and write character blogs. It also includes samples of student work analyzing literature using Wordle, Pinterest, and YouTube videos.
The document appears to be notes from a student named Ashley Hamilton documenting their ethnographic research observations of how 5 students use social media in dormitories and on campus. The notes describe that students in dorms seemed more comfortable sharing personal information on social media. Many students had their location enabled on apps and some admitted to excessively using social media or viewing others' profiles. One student felt awkward at being observed using their device in class.

This document discusses teaching evolution in the science classroom. It outlines three state science standards related to teaching the mechanisms and evidence of evolution, and applying scientific thinking to the study of evolution. It explains that teaching evolution is consistent with leading science organizations and that evolution is a major unifying concept in science that should be emphasized in K-12 education. It also notes that students may bring poor science backgrounds, cultural/religious beliefs, or lack of empathy and patience can act as barriers that need to be overcome when teaching evolution.
This document discusses using storytelling techniques to teach research methods and improve thesis structure and writing. It proposes applying elements of narrative like plotlines, characters, and point of view to structure the thesis. A course was designed around this approach and will be piloted for a masters program in 2015. The course uses an online "xMOOC" format and aims to make the research process more engaging and improve student motivation, attitude and time management compared to the traditional IMRaD structure. The document outlines preparations made, compares the storyfied and IMRaD approaches, presents a SWOT analysis of the course design, and discusses plans to evaluate and expand the program.
This document discusses makerspaces in libraries. Makerspaces allow patrons to create and share projects, encouraging hands-on learning.

The Learner, the Curriculum and the WardrobeDr Wayne Barry
The workshop ran as part of the Learning & Teaching Conference at Canterbury Christ Church University on Monday 30th June 2014. It was co-presented with Lynne Burroughs and sets out to examine and present examples of how e-portfolios (the ‘wardrobe’ of the title) can be embedded within the curriculum, thus allowing students to demonstrate the development of their skills and learning across a range of personal, academic and professional touch points. Furthermore, it is envisaged that e-portfolios could enable students to become 21st century self-reflective practitioners, a critical graduate skill, and to develop ‘multiple voices’ that are suitable for different audiences.
Delegates were asked to consider how e-portfolios could be situated within their own subject and professional disciplines and discuss the opportunities and challenges in embedding such a tool within their own curriculum.
VRA 2023 Adventures in Critical Cataloging session. Presenters: Sara Schumacher and Millicent Fullmer
This paper will cover the results of a research study looking at visual resources professionals' perceptions of the visual canon at their institutions and their actions confronting biases in their visual collections. This research is innovative because the "visual canon" as a concept is often evoked but rarely defined, and there has not been research into perceptions and practices that span different types of cultural heritage institutions. The researchers seek to focus on the role of the visual resources professional as a potential change-maker in confronting bias and transforming the “visual canon.” In our presentation, we will discuss the analysis of our survey and interviews around three key research questions: What barriers do visual resources professionals perceive in remedying the biases in the visual canon? What authorities, past and present, do they identify in shaping the visual canon? How do they approach teaching users to identify and critically confront these issues? We will highlight trends as well as unique concerns and solutions from our research participants and engage our audience with how these issues impact their own collections, policies, and instruction.
NAC&U Innovators: Innovation Summit November 2013Robin Heyden
St. Edward's University uses simulation games in history and cultural foundations courses to engage students. In a WWII history course, students designed a simulation game for classmates to play incorporating political, social, and economic factors. In a cultural foundations course on the Syrian conflict, students role-played actors and agencies involved and responded to critical events. Simulation games provide experiential learning and help students better understand complex real-world issues.

Educator or Edupunk? Shifting Roles for Museum Educators Embracing Disruptive Technologies

#mcn2012edu
This session identifies disruptive technologies in technology-based, experimental museum spaces as an evolved practice in museum education. The goal of this panel is to address ways to proactively identify and serve new audiences, and underlines how museum education departments are well-positioned to lead a radical charge for technology-based, informal learning, both online and offline.
Resisting non-productive or alarmist charges against the backdrop of the national education system in crisis, three museum-based case studies from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and two others will demonstrate how radical practice within museum education are provoking revised terms for defining outreach, community, and audience through disruptive technologies.
Session Description: (500 words)
Traditional ‘programming’ and informal ‘community outlets’ have indeed broadened, deepened and diversified audiences in museums. The field must now consider new strategies for engaging audiences with increased expectations as informal learners, both online and offline. As traditional museum educators mine the spectrum between formalized and informalized education, a new breed of museum educators are inspired by open-source/DIY/crowd-sourced initiatives, and motivated by “edupunk” methodologies that upturn traditional museum education practices beyond K-12 school visits through disruptive technologies. These include, but are not limited to: on-site laboratory spaces, online courses, expansive social media programming, and community-based practices to reach audiences that rarely otherwise visit museums.
Three case studies explore issues of shifting perspectives on visitor identity and internal advocacy for experimental learning spaces, and also chart new territory for museum education as a vital and critical force for institutional change.

This presentation was given at the ALT-C Conference in Manchester, UK, on 11 September 2012. It describes the work of the Manufacturing Pasts project, which digitises and creates open learning materials on the topic of British industrial history.
Similar to Promoting Peer-to-Peer Teaching, On and Offline (20)
The document discusses the history of sharing and reusing content between 19th century newspapers, often without attribution. It provides several examples of identical articles appearing in multiple publications written by staff writers, freelancers, and organizations. While sometimes seen as theft, sharing content was also common practice. The document explores the challenges of distinguishing sharing from stealing content before modern communication technologies and considers both criticism and defenses of these practices.
Scissors and Paste: Understanding the Hidden Structure of 19th-Century Journa...M. H Beals
To create a successful newspaper in the 19th century, one would:
1) Obtain a printing press and typesetting equipment.
2) Subscribe to or purchase a variety of other newspapers for content.
3) Rely heavily on scissors to cut and paste stories from other publications into one's own newspaper.
Historical TEI: Developing a Portfolio of Common PracticeM. H Beals
This document discusses developing a common practice for encoding historical documents using TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) standards. It outlines encoding bibliographic details, people, places, events, and encoding to support historiographical analysis and linking interpretations to build a network of scholarly arguments related to primary sources. The goal is to create a digital library of critical analyses on historical texts that can be analyzed computationally.
Georgian Pingbacks: Mapping Attribution Networks in a 19th-Century Newspaper ...M. H Beals
This document discusses newspaper reprinting practices in 19th century Britain and presents preliminary results from a project analyzing attribution and plagiarism. It introduces the concept of "scissors-and-paste journalism" where newspapers would reprint content from other papers with or without attribution. Networks of newspaper reprints from 1818-1819 are presented. Initial analysis found the Ipswich Journal reprinted from 36 different locations, most frequently from London. The project aims to understand reprinting ethics and attribution through computational analysis of newspaper texts and networks of information sharing.
Boutique Big Data: Reintegrating Close and Distant Reading of 19th-Century N...M. H Beals
The document discusses using digital tools to analyze 19th century newspapers through both close and distant reading. It describes how to identify instances of "scissors-and-paste journalism" by obtaining machine-readable newspaper transcriptions and performing plagiarism checks on texts. It also discusses how to map reprints between newspapers using filtering heuristics and how to visualize 19th century reprint culture by exploring connections, mapping directionality between papers, and uncovering evolutionary pressures.
A Series of Small Things: The Case Study in the Age of Big DataM. H Beals
This document discusses the role of case studies in an era of big data. It argues that case studies can provide important context and nuance that is lost when only examining large data sets. The document is divided into sections examining the large, medium, and small scale of data, and argues that case studies fall into the small scale by focusing on individual stories and experiences. In the conclusion, the author thanks the audience for their time.
Interactive Character Assassination: The Ethics of Historical Video Game DesignM. H Beals
Like their cinematic counterparts, video games set in historical environments continue to be some of the most popular and best-selling of the medium. Historical settings from the ancient world to recent past form the backdrop or story for games across multiple genres, from arcade-style shooters to story-driven RPGs to intricate turn-based strategy games. The interactive nature of video games, and the player's ability to make meaningful choices within that setting, raises important ethical questions regarding the presentation of historical characters. Recent cases against the Call of Duty franchise, for their portrayal of 20th-century figures, are clear evidence of the impact such portrayals can have on those directly affected, but decisions about the portrayal of and possible interactions with long-dead individuals are equally deserving of critical attention. Likewise, gameplay mechanics, such as the manoeuvrability of sailing vessels or the damage inflicted by projectile weapons, are points of significant debate amongst both academic and gaming communities and can considerably impact both the commercial and critical success of a game. This paper will discuss the practical and ethical considerations of designing historical video games and how best to approach design in both a commercially viable and scholarly robust manner.

Georgian Pingbacks: Mapping Attribution Networks in a 19th-Century Newspaper ...M. H Beals
This document summarizes research on mapping attribution networks in 19th century newspaper articles. It describes "scissors-and-paste journalism" where one newspaper would reprint content from another, with or without attribution. The research used text comparison software to analyze newspaper articles from 1818-1819 and identify reprints. A network graph of reprints between newspapers was generated. Preliminary results found the most common sources of reprinted articles were from Ipswich, London, and other locations. The research helps shed light on historical newspaper practices and ethics of unattributed reprinting.
Boutique Big Data: Understanding 19th-Century Reprint Culture With Plagiarism...M. H Beals
From their earliest incarnations in the seventeenth-century, through their Georgian expansion into provincial and colonial markets and culminating in their late-Victorian transformation into New Journalism, British newspapers have relied upon scissors-and-paste journalism to meet consumer demands for the latest political intelligence and diverting content. Although this practice, wherein one newspaper extracted or wholly duplicated content from another, is well known to scholars of the periodical press, in-depth analysis of the process is hindered by the lack of formal records relating to the reprinting process. Although anecdotes abound, attributions were rarely and inconsistently given and, with no legal requirement to recompense the original author, formal records of where material was obtained were unnecessary. Even if they had existed, the number of titles that relied upon reprinted material makes systematic analysis impossible; for many periodicals, only a few issues, let alone business records, survive. However, mass digitisation of these periodicals, in both photographic and machine-readable form, offers historians a new opportunity to rediscover the mechanics of nineteenth-century reprinting. By undertaking multi-modal and multi-scale analyses of digitised periodicals, we can begin to reconstruct the precise journeys these texts took from their first appearance to their multiple ends. Moreover, by repurposing individual ‘boutique’ research outputs within large-scale textual analyses, we can greatly enhance the resolution of our computer-aided conclusions and bridge the gaps between commercial, state and private databases.
This paper will explore the possibilities of large-scale reprint identification, using out-of-the-box and project-specific software and the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ research into large-scale text-mining projects.
Imagining Communities: The Glasgow Advertiser and the Kentucky Frontier, 1790...M. H Beals
At the end of the eighteenth-century, The Glasgow Advertiser was the epitome of scissors-and-paste journalism. Under the sole proprietorship of John Mennons, this eight-page, biweekly newspaper provided the denizens of Glasgow with news from throughout Europe and the far reaches of the British Empire – all for 3 ½ pence an issue. Like many other provincial presses in Great Britain, Mennons worked as the paper’s main reporter, editor, compositor and printer and obtained the majority of its non-local content from London newspapers, curating the selection of national, international and imperial intelligence that would most appeal to the local Glaswegian audience. In some cases, this meant a truncated version of a lengthy account; in others, one or several full articles from the same page were reprinted in full. These were supplemented by a small amount of original reporting, rumours acquired from the Trongate, lists of local prices and sequestrations and the occasional humorous anecdote.
With so much of the Advertiser’s content mere reproduction, and with limited local competition, it is difficult to glean more than a faint spectre of Glaswegian public opinion from the newspaper press. Indeed, by most scholarly accounts, the Advertiser, though ultimately successful, was a thoroughly dull publication. Yet, there is something more lies hidden just below the surface. Although Mennons refused to surrender the Advertiser‘s accounts to it new owner in 1802 – their contents remaining a mystery – his editorial practices, and many of the biases and assumptions that informed them, can be reconstructed by examining his more unusual curatorial choices.
In 1780 and 90s, the Ohio River Valley was engulfed in warfare between the fledgling United States and a confederacy of tribes, including the military astute Miami. Over the course of the decade, Mennons devoted a disproportionate level of coverage to these engagements, often leading to the inclusion of tangential and dubious linkages to other skirmishes between European, United States and Native American groups. Going well beyond his traditional sources of news content, Mennons demonstrated particularly interest and skill in weaving the story of the Little Turtle Wars to his Glaswegian readers, leaving clues as to his vision of the relationship between the Scots and the North American frontier. This paper will explore the digital methods behind reprinting mapping, the process which allows us to discover the unattributed sources that made up the Glasgow Advertiser‘s news content, and the means by which curation, the choices made by reprinting editors, can provide us with a nuanced and revealing understanding of scissors-and-paste men, whose voices, until recently, were thought irrevocably lost.

Moreover, by repurposing individual ‘boutique’ research outputs within large-scale textual analyses, we can greatly enhance the resolution of our computer-aided conclusions and bridge the gaps between commercial, state and private databases.
This paper will explore the possibilities of large-scale reprint identification, using out-of-the-box and project-specific software, within and across digitised collections. Second, it will demonstrate the means by which reprint directionality and branching can be achieved and the relative precision of manual and computer-aided techniques. Finally, it will explore the nature of multi-scale analysis and how we might best reintegrate ‘boutique’ periodical research into large-scale text-mining projects.
Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics: History and the Impact AgendaM. H Beals
This document discusses the impact agenda in history and issues with altmetrics. It notes that historians define impact as partnerships with museums, commentary opportunities, documentaries, online exhibits, work with schools and heritage sectors, policy consultancy, and popular books. However, altmetrics are far lower for history articles and do not fully capture traditional impact. Altmetrics also overrepresent author involvement and underrepresent monographs. The document argues that good impact should be purposeful through citation, word-of-mouth, curation, and helping to share research. Impact includes academic allusions, appearances in media, influence on heritage and public history, and Wikipedia citations. Qualitative assessment is important over just statistics.

Evolutionary Plagiarism: Tracing Dissemination Pathways in 19th-Century ReprintsM. H Beals
A paper given at the University of Lancaster, 4 December 2014.
In the late-Georgian period, Scotland witnesses exponential growth in its newspaper industry. From a handful of eighteenth-century periodicals, the press expanded rapidly into the industrial and market towns of Scotland, hoping to supply a growing demand for international, domestic and local news and human interest stories. One of many avenues for procuring this content was the expanding press of North America. Owing to limited, ambiguous and unenforceable copyright legislation on both continents, a culture of reprinting allowed a rich tapestry of North American life to be woven in the British public consciousness. This repurposing, however, was far from transparent in its dissemination or evolution. In the absence of robust business or personal records detailing the selection and framing of such content in various locations, linguistic analysis of these reprinted texts can provide intriguing insights into the rationales behind reprinting, repurposing and recompiling descriptions of North America throughout the Anglophone world. This paper will discuss the opportunities and difficulties of reprint analyses of late-Georgian newspapers and present a number of case studies for the development of computer-aided methodologies in tracing dissemination pathways.
Mennons and MacGillivray: Scotland and the North American Frontier, 1790-1795M. H Beals
This document discusses the dissemination of news about the North American frontier in Scottish newspapers between 1790-1795. It focuses on John Mennons, the printer and editor of the Glasgow Advertiser, and Alexander MacGillivray, a Creek leader. The summary traces how stories about the frontier originating in American newspapers made their way indirectly to Scottish papers via reprinting in London papers, with minimal changes to the text. It concludes that tracing these pathways provides insight into who was writing, revising and curating frontier news at different points along the route.
Help Them Try Harder: Integrating the Digital into Historical ThinkingM. H Beals
A Discussion of Digital Methodologies and Theory in History Modules. Presented at the University of Warwick at the invitation of IATL, 19 November 2014.
The document discusses digital humanities and educational technology (EdTech). Digital humanities involves using technology to develop new methodologies for examining how digital influences perceptions and interactions with humanities. EdTech refers to technology used in teaching. The document provides examples of how EdTech tools can be used for Canaries, such as accessing and revising teaching content, and for African Swallows, such as peer-to-peer learning through social media and developing employability skills. It also discusses teaching digital archive theory and practice skills like corpus linguistics, GIS, and data visualization, as well as integrating research-led pedagogy using digital tools.
Hunt or Gather, Share or Steal:Scottish News Networks, 1790-1840M. H Beals
Between 1783 and 1840, the number of newspapers published in Scotland grew tenfold and spread far beyond the key port towns of Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen into market towns and centres throughout the region. Although these provincial newspapers remained weekly or bi-weekly publications throughout the period, they still required a significant amount of international reportage to fill their four to eight pages. This material was shamelessly, and often haphazardly, gleaned from international periodicals in the form of scissors-and-paste reprints. Through these half-hearted shortcuts, we can develop a significant understanding of newspaper networks before the rise of international telegraphy and the slow decline of the scissors-and-paste system.
Utilising highly detailed transcriptions of newspaper content from Scotland, England and the wider Anglophone world, this paper will trace key dissemination pathways of news content from its origin in various British colonies and the United States, through its many reprints, abridgments, summaries and commentaries, to the pages of Scottish periodical press. By mapping the shape and directionality of these network connections, a greater understanding of news dissemination and editorial links can be achieved. These networks can then form the statistical basis of further qualitative studies into the spread of ideas or interpersonal connections.
The paper, developed and expanded from an initial proposal presented at ESSHC 2014, will demonstrate how, through a combination of traditional close reading, ‘big data’ edition tracking, and social network analysis, Georgian news networks, including periodicals with extremely short runs and no contextual records, can be significantly mapped and the quantitative influence of key hubs can be preliminarily determined. It will explore the relative value of manual and computer-assisted transcriptions at different stages of the project, the feasibility of training historians in high-level programming languages such as Python, the nature of the resulting network data and its interoperability with mathematical and sociology research, and the possibilities for wider dissemination and collective reuse of transcription data. Finally, the piece will demonstrate, through select case studies, how basic quantitative data regarding network dissemination pathways can fundamentally alter our interpretation of the purpose of miscellany material in Scotland’s provincial press.
Mapping Implicit Processes: Extracting Social Networks from Digital CorporaM. H Beals
This document discusses extracting social networks from digital corpora to understand the dissemination of information. It covers identifying reprints and memes at scale using digitized newspapers. Methods include keyword searching, n-gram matching, and edition tracking. Understanding dissemination pathways involves identifying memes, modeling chronological spread, and constructing genealogical models. Both manual and computer-aided approaches are discussed, with future plans involving developing a computer program and directional social network database to better model relatedness factors and inform additional research.
