Digital Research Guidelines
Students are tasked with curating a digital exhibit that tells a story about an aspect of popular forms of political participation, including social revolutions and insurgencies, in Latin America.
There will be a variety of ways for you to do it, and I am open to negotiating its platform. The basic ground rules are 1) it must consist of 10-12 digital sources (such as digitized documents, video, photographs, and sound files, and 2) it must be publicly accessible on the World Wide Web.
As students will have read much about and covered in detail notions of politics and revolution, they have wide discretion in the developing the project. Students will meet with our reference librarian Isaac Meadows, who will give a session on how to use Google Sites and other platforms, such as HTML5 Up, Weebly or WordPress, to develop your project. Design is up to you.
Basic specs:
10-12 digital sources
Bibliography
Additional Resources
An example of a digital exhibit – though more of a guide to materials rather digital storytelling – is the following – Gothic Past. You can see a huge list of example at Omeka’s Wiki, which is a platform to organize digital materials.
