Assignment 4: note-taking & annotations

EXPLORING NOTE-TAKING & ANNOTATION SOFTWAREIn Assignment 3 literature was identified related to the topics assigned to each of the groups; these topics are noted again below. This literature serves as point of departure for Assignment 4: preparation of notes / annotations on this literature using either OneNote or Zotero. Students should discuss and decide which (or both) of these two tools will be used. Although the annotations will be prepared individually, the assignment is to be carried out in subgroups of 2-3 students from each of the 10 groups. As with other assignments, the entire group is to confer near the end of the exercise. Compose reflections on this activity in gaining familiarity with note-taking software. These reflections, maximum one page in length excluding possible screenshots and references, should be prepared individually. Preparation of reflections may benefit by performing a general search of reviews, videos and other materials on the software; be sure to reference the use of such material in the blog post. Reflections are to be posted on the individual student blogs and uploaded to a folder on course website no later than Monday 30 April, 21.00. [ERROR: should be Monday, 21 May, 21.00] Complete the group reports of literature notes / annotations initiated during the in-class assignment. Assign an editor from group members who will be responsible for collecting the subgroup annotations and compiling them into a group report that will be uploaded to the group Dropbox folder for Assignment 4 no later than Monday 21 May, 21.00.

Assignment 7 (final exercise)PREPARING PORTFOLIO ON ENHANCING SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS; PREPARATION OF GROUP PRESENTATIONMost academic publications – conference papers, journal articles, book chapters – are prepared as texts with few to none of the functions available in a Web environment: no color, no dynamic visualizations, no hyperlinks to external resources, no links within a document (e.g., from in-text reference to bibliographic entry). This final assignment for the practicum Doing Digital Scholarship provides opportunity for groups of students to develop enhanced versions of traditionally prepared academic texts. The assignment allows students to utilize a number of the tools available for doing digital scholarship that will be presented during the practicum: annotation tools, reference management tools, collaboration tools, and tools for publishing and presenting. Each subgroup, 2-3 students, from the pre-assigned groups is responsible for enhancing one of the three traditional academic texts that are assigned to a group; see list below. Groups members are expected discuss their approaches to enhancing the three texts and to utilize tools related to the following tasks:Note-taking & document annotating (e.g., OneNote, Zotero)Reference management (Mendeley, EndNote)Collaborating (e.g., group blog, Skype, Elluminate, Adobe Connect)Co-authoring & file sharing software (e.g., Google Docs, Dropbox)Presentation software (e.g., Prezi, Powerpoint, Keynote)Publishing platforms and venues ( iBooks Author; Commentpress; Issuu, repositories, e.g., SSRN)
