SUMMARY:Introduction to TEI
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 13 2025  \n\n\n\nThis workshop offers a three-hour introduction to the eXtensible Markup Language of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI-XML). It begins by asking how we mark up historical and literary texts in order to create digital editions/archives and will cover the basics of XML terminology before diving into the specifics of TEI elements\, attributes\, and values. We will dig into the “TEI Guidelines\,” discover how they are structured\, and do some hands-on encoding of a short poem. As time permits\, we will look at some TEI projects hosted by HCMC. This workshop will prepare participants for work on HCMC projects and/or for a longer TEI course offered by the DH training network. \n\n\n\nFacilitator Bio: Janelle Jenstad is a Professor in the Department of English and Academic Director of the Humanities Computing and Media Centre. She is the founder and director of the Map of Early Modern London and Linked Early Modern Drama Online; Co-Coordinating Editor of the New Internet Shakespeare Editions\, MoEML Mayoral Shows\, and Digital Renaissance Editions; and former member of the TEI Technical Council. \n\n\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is eligible for the Canadian Certificate in Digital Humanities \n\n\n\nNumber of seats: 15 \n\n\n\nTo register: Contact HCMC Administrative Assistant Marla MacKinnon at hcmcadmin@uvic.ca

SUMMARY:Research + Lab Notebooks: Research Data Management Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:Date: September 25 2025 \n\n\n\nAre you curious about organizing your research better? Join us for our first roundtable of the season September 25 from 11 AM – 12 PM on Research and Lab Notebooks. \n\n\n\nNotebooks are important records of decision-making\, results\, and processes during research. Although many researchers still use paper notebooks\, electronic tools protect against data loss\, enhance searching\, and validate findings through permissions and signatures. While McMaster University does not offer dedicated software\, we’ll hear from researchers across disciplines about how they’re making it work with available tools. We’ll talk configuring workflows\, setting up version control\, which tools you avoid\, onboarding students and new researchers\, and other practical details. \n\n\n\nAround the table this month: \n\n\n\n\nDr. Sara Andres (Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences) introduces how she’s configured OneNote\n\n\n\nDr. Andrew McArthur (Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences) shares his GitLab setup\n\n\n\nAkacia Propst (The/La Collaborative – Philosophy) discusses a Research Documentation template\n\n\n\nDr. Andy Roddick (Anthropology) outlines using Obsidian to build connections in a mass of information\n\n\n\n\nHere is the meeting link. Learn more and join the RDM community!

SUMMARY:Introduction to Computational Thinking
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION \n\n\n\nDate: September 25 2025 \n\n\n\nComputational thinking is an essential skill for anyone wanting to learn to program computers and write code. This Library Carpentries workshop will take you through the steps involved in computational thinking – learning how to break down complex problems into smaller parts\, identify patterns\, and design logical solutions that a computer can execute. Through hands-on activities\, you will practice techniques such as problem decomposition\, abstraction\, and algorithmic thinking. By the end of the session\, you will have a stronger foundation for approaching programming tasks with confidence\, setting the stage for future coding and data-driven learning. \n\n\n\nThe Learning Objectives for this session are: \n\n\n\nGeneralize the steps to make the algorithm re-usable (abstraction) \n\n\n\nIdentify the steps in computational thinking \n\n\n\nBreak problems into manageable parts \n\n\n\nDevelop a clear sequence of steps (an algorithm) to solve a problem \n\n\n\nInstructor: TBD
