ArcGIS Pro is a professional desktop Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program. It is a powerful data visualization tool that maps and analyzes data, depicting patterns and trends. This workshop is geared towards beginners new to ArcGIS or ArcMap users making the switch to ArcGIS Pro. Attendees will become familiar with ArcGIS tools that are available on campus, learn the ArcGIS Pro interface, symbolize data, and share the resulting map.

December 3 is International Day for Persons with Disabilities! Are you building your own web site using JavaScript and frameworks? In this third workshop of the Building JavaScript Websites series, learn to adapt UI controls in a JavaScript web site to be accessible. Starting from a simple prepared single-page application, we will walk you through how easy it is to make a JavaScript web site to be AODA compliant. Each workshop in this series can be taken independently of the other workshops in the series.

An online hands-on and open studio environment to develop the narrative and technical skills to create a 2–5-minute digital research story.

Are you thinking of sharing your data for re-use by other researchers? Have you been asked to share your data by a journal or funder? Are you worried about the long term accessibility of your data? Join Danica Evering (Research Data Management Specialist) for this workshop on how to deposit your data on McMaster Dataverse for archival, preservation, and sharing. Learn more about how openly sharing data can benefit you and the research community, and how online repositories are helping to improve the availability of research data. We’ll end with a sandbox session where participants can experiment with the Demo instance of Dataverse.

This virtual workshop will build on the Fall 2023 workshop “Data Visualization in R using ggplot2” to provide an introduction to gganimate in the statistical programming language R. This workshop will go examples on how to create visualizations that change over time and how to and customize the design of those graphs.

Designed for those who are curious about making maps but haven’t yet had the opportunity to learn. This workshop will provide a friendly introduction to geographic data and the mapping of this data using the geographic information system (GIS) software, QGIS. Absolutely no geography or quantitative background is necessary for an engaging experience.

This workshop will build on the Fall 2023 workshop “Gephi Part 1: Introduction to Network Visualizations” to look at how one can conduct network analysis for research. We will go through a case example together and discuss more features that researchers can use to design their own network visualizations.

Two parts: January 19 (10 am – Noon) and February 2 (10 am – Noon) This two-part workshop will bring together people working in the postsecondary sector (faculty, librarians, students, administrators) to discuss and reflect on knowledge making in the humanities (and in academia more broadly) within a society enmeshed with networked digital technology.  Workshop […]

In this introductory workshop, learn about research data management best practices and how investing a small amount of time in organizing your data now can save you a lot of time and prevent future headaches. We will go over best practices for data planning, storage, organization, preservation, and sharing.
