Date: 16 February 2024 3D visualization has been used in traditional scientific computing for several decades to visualize the results of multidimensional numerical simulations. In humanities, 3D visualizations have been mostly restricted to specialized areas such as game engines, architectural renderings, virtual environments, photogrammetric processing, and visualization of point cloud data. In this short course, […]
How does deep learning really work? What exactly are those large language models everybody talks about? How can I build a neural network? What is NLP? This presentation will answer these questions in a non-technical manner to give you a high-level understanding of a discipline that has become crucial in all fields of research. The […]
Have you ever wished you could stand in and study an imaginary or long-vanished space–from a work of literature or from a distant period in history, or perhaps a virtual creation of a famous thought experiment or a speculative model of something that doesn’t exist in the real world? 3D visualization can grant that wish. […]

This is a day-long workshop that will explore 3d modelling and printing. We’ll take a physical object from the real world, use a series of sophisticated software to render it into a 3d model, and then learn how to print that model on a 3d printer.
Grant applications and ethics protocols suggest you need to ensure research data is kept secure, but the “how” of managing this task is rarely addressed. We’ll guide you through common research issues connected with privacy and security: using online or “cloud” services for file storage, ensuring a lost laptop doesn’t mean compromised data, taking control of […]
Date: 4 March 2024 A data management plan (DMP) is a document that outlines the organization, storage, and sharing of your research data. A DMP addresses phases of the data management lifecycle, and supports the management of research data for your project. As DMPs are increasingly required for a variety of funding programs, this workshop […]

Date: 5 March 2024 Wikipedia is now the largest global open education resource and is widely used by students, instructors, and researchers. Editing Wikipedia is easier than you might think, and can have uses and benefits beyond just the satisfaction of improving the world’s biggest encyclopedia. Instructors include Wikipedia assignments in the classroom as a […]
Date: 6 March 2024 As graduate students or faculty members, we are often asked to make our research visible, have an active online profile, and engage with other academics in social media circles. However, the push for engaged, online public scholarship is sometimes at odds with what we know of online behaviour: the subject of […]
