Of course, as experienced DH practitioners, you already know this, but for newcomers, understanding this idea can be tricky. Often students can see how the substance<\/em> of a dataset is skewed in one direction or another, but they frequently have trouble understanding that the very form<\/em> of data entails a selective view of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s why I want you to help me build a set of interactive resources to help convey this idea to them. Working in groups, you’ll create an interactive digital resource designed for your fellow undergrad students. The resource should convey some aspect of the “data is never neutral” idea, and it should evince a constructivist<\/em> approach to learning. That is, it should in some way ask students to receive a new idea, take an active part in filtering it against their own experiences and knowledge, and emerge with a revised understanding of some phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You could accomplish this goal in many different ways, and you’ll have to think creatively. Here are some ways you might approach it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The resource can be designed to stand on its own, or it can be designed to accompany a lecture or other teaching scenario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some interactive projects and resources that I would classify as “constructivist.” (Note that many of these resources are much more elaborate than I would expect you to create in the time we have together!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together in class, we’ll learn to use the p5.js Javascript library, which will allow you to code your own interactive activity. However, if you have an idea for an activity that p5 can’t accomplish, talk to me, and we can discuss other technologies that might make sense for your project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Deadlines Milestone 1: Three to five sentences summarizing your idea.
