SUMMARY:Unveiling the Past: Advancing Knowledge of the Humanities and Special Collections through Multispectral Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Led by: Juilee Decker and David Messinger \n\n\n\nIn the past\, scholars applied lemon juice and a heat source when uncovering hidden features of historical documents (think: “National Treasure”). We now know that this method damaged artifacts unnecessarily. Interest in this field has led to newer\, safer practices involving cameras\, sensors\, and LED panels. A low-cost\, low barrier-to-entry Multispectral Imaging System for Historical Artifacts (MISHA) funded by NEH and developed by the course instructors and their interdisciplinary lab puts image capture and processing tools\, as well as the system itself\, within the reach of non-scientists. By participating in this week-long course\, participants will learn a brief history of cultural heritage imaging\, with an emphasis on multispectral imaging; will try their hand at capturing images and processing them; will learn of use cases where MISHA and other imaging systems have been able to illuminate content and context of manuscripts\, sheet\, leaf\, and folia created from the medieval to the modern; and will use the MISHA system and to develop new digital humanities skills that pertain to discoverability\, access\, preservation\, and the production of new knowledge. The intended audience is humanities scholars interested in text recovery\, codicology\, and imaging practices as a new and accessible DH method. \n\n\n\nAt the end of the week\, participants will leave with knowledge of cultural heritage imaging’s history and theories\, particularly multispectral imaging; experience using a MISHA system for image capture; familiarity with image processing methods to yield new knowledge (focusing on six sample data sets featuring collections from the medieval to the modern); and strategies of how to incorporate digital tools within their research\, scholarship\, and/or pedagogy. \n\n\n\nThe course combines lecture\, seminar\, and hands-on activities working with sheet\, leaf\, and folia from an “educational use” collection to demonstrate capacity of multispectral imaging as a digital humanities tool for access\, discovery\, interpretation\, and research.

SUMMARY:Writing Nonfiction in the Company of Artificial Intelligences
DESCRIPTION:Led by: William J. Turkel \n\n\n\nThis course is a hands-on introduction to using LLM technology (large language models like ChatGPT or Gemini) to assist with the practice of writing nonfiction. Popular discussions of this technology have focused on the unconstrained models’ tendencies to hallucinate\, their inability to cite or return verifiable sources of information\, and their potential misuse for misinformation and disinformation. When you are working with these models at a more technical level\, however\, you learn that their capabilities are changing every few weeks. As current problems are solved new opportunities and challenges arise. This course teaches ways to constrain and even make use of hallucination\, to draw information and make inferences from verifiable structured data\, and to rigorously cite sources. The workflows that you will learn are firmly grounded in the tools and techniques of the digital humanities: text encoding\, the semantic web\, linked open data\, bibliography\, databases\, web APIs\, text analysis\, and text mining. There are two key differences\, however. Rather than working with off-the-shelf tools or building them from the ground up\, generative AI allows us to work from the top down. We also make extensive use of the models’ ability to co-author code as well as prose. \n\n\n\nThis course will require a minimal additional fee for software.

SUMMARY:The Small Web: Making Minimal Websites and Digital Ephemera by Hand
DESCRIPTION:Dates: June 9th to June 13th 2025 \n\n\n\nPart of IDARE Summer University 2025: “Handmade Digital”IDARE: INTERACTIVE DIGITAL ARTS\, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION \n\n\n\nThe Small Web: Making Minimal Websites and Digital Ephemera by Hand\n\n\n\nPlease note: in-person or virtual attendance is possible for this workshop. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Reg Beatty \n\n\n\nThe “small web” is a space where people question how desirable it is to have their online presence pre-formatted and then harvested by a ubiquitous corporate culture. It’s a space that is looking for alternatives to this platformed self-expression\, trying to make room for something less rule-bound — something that’s unconventional\, unexpected. And one of the ways the small web imagines this might happen is through a return to “making.” In trying to reset our digital lives the impetus of our own making allows us to refocus on the creative process (and pleasure!) of coding from scratch. \n\n\n\nThis course will take a minimalist approach\, showing how a small number of HTML elements and CSS rules can do most of the heavy lifting necessary to make a website. We’ll cover how to coordinate structure\, content\, and style\, including fonts\, images\, colour\, video and audio. And we’ll build our web pages on neocities which\, as a community\, exemplifies the freedom of the small web. \n\n\n\nThe more proprietary\, predatory\, and puerile a place the web becomes\, the more committed I am to using it in poetic and intransigent ways. — J. R. Carpenter from “A Handmade Web“ \n\n\n\nReg Beatty is a bookbinder\, book artist and designer. He has maintained a studio in Toronto since 1992\, lectured at a variety of institutions\, and taught bookarts and book design at OCADU\, York University and Sheridan College. As project manager and in-house designer at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Centre for Digital Humanities\, he helped create the new interface and content management system for Yellow Nineties 2.0. He received an MA in Communication and Culture at TMU/York\, where his major project investigated the algorithmic book. His work has been exhibited in the United States\, Europe\, Japan\, and across Canada.

SUMMARY: Tiny Games: Handmade Playables
DESCRIPTION:Dates: June 9th to June 13th 2025 \n\n\n\nPart of IDARE Summer University 2025: “Handmade Digital”IDARE: INTERACTIVE DIGITAL ARTS\, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION \n\n\n\n Tiny Games: Handmade Playables\n\n\n\nPlease note: in-person or virtual attendance is possible for this workshop. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Jeremy Andriano \n\n\n\nVideo games can be tiny! In this course\, you will be introduced to several digital authoring tools that can be used to take a slow\, personalised\, handmade approach to making small video games and interactive stories. You will learn how to make one scene single player role-playing games (RPGs) with Twine 2 and Inky; you will learn how to use Bitsy for constructing pixelated visual poems; and you will explore making short\, parser-based escape rooms in Inform 7. By focusing on tiny ludic experiences\, we will give you everything you need to create your own complete tiny game and share it with the world! \n\n\n\nOn Day 1\, we will explore examples of tiny games and learn how to access and install Twine 2\, Inky\, Bitsy\, and Inform 7. There will be short demonstrations of each program\, and you will start ideating your own tiny game. Subsequent days will focus on one style of game — hypertext RPG\, pixelated poetry\, or escape room — and the associated authoring tool(s)\, with demonstrations and instruction in the morning and a guided\, open workshop in the afternoon. At the end of the week\, we will showcase our tiny video games! \n\n\n\nJeremy Andriano (he/him) is a Master’s candidate in the joint graduate program in Communication and Culture at Toronto Metropolitan University and York University. His research investigates electronic media\, culture\, and technology with a focus on game studies\, multilinear narrative\, digital humanities\, algorithm and human-computer interface.

SUMMARY:Micro-Editions: Handmade Digital Editions
DESCRIPTION:Dates: June 9th to June 13th 2025 \n\n\n\nPart of IDARE Summer University 2025: “Handmade Digital”IDARE: INTERACTIVE DIGITAL ARTS\, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION \n\n\n\nMicro-Editions: Handmade Digital Editions\n\n\n\nPlease note: in-person or virtual attendance is possible for this workshop. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Jason Boyd \n\n\n\nOnline publishing makes feasible the publication of texts of varying lengths\, from the very long to the very brief. While many digital editing projects have very broad scopes (i.e.\, the complete works of a single author)\, it is also possible to produce an edition of a single short document — one publication venue for such tiny editions is the journal\, Scholarly Editing. This course introduces students to the creation of micro-editions using the XML-based markup specification developed by the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium. Students will develop a micro-edition of a short text of their choosing: this could be a letter\, a poem\, a short story\, or another short document Students should send a description of the text they wish to edit to the instructor in advance of the workshop. \n\n\n\nJason Boyd is an Associate Professor in the Department of English at TMU\, and the Director of the Centre for Digital Humanities. He was the TEI Editor for the Fortune Theatre Prototype Digital Edition\, and has been exploring how TEI can be used to facilitate exegetical analysis of biographical texts through the Texting Wilde Project. He has also explored social editing through the Wikisource edition of Canadian Singers and Their Songs (1919)\, and has recently published “The Ludic Edition: Playful Futures for Digital Scholarly Editing” in Digital Editing and Publishing in the Twenty-First Century.

SUMMARY:Implementing Institutional RDM Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 12 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription: With the release of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy all Canadian post-secondary institutions and research hospitals that administer Tri-Agency funding were required to develop and post institutional research data management (RDM) strategies by March 1\, 2023. As institutions finalized their strategies\, they began to consider what implementation would look like. To support inter-institutional\, cross-functional dialogue around implementation\, a two-day\, SSHRC-supported workshop was hosted at the University of Waterloo in September 2023. Over 30 institutions of varying sizes and research intensities sent cohorts representing libraries\, information technology\, and research offices to participate in dialogues around challenges and collaborative solutions in RDM strategy implementation. The high-level recommendations from that workshop have been released as the report Building an Inter-Institutional and Cross-Functional Research Data Management Community: From Strategy to Implementation. In this short workshop\, participants will discuss the recommendations in the report and how they can be implemented in their institutions. \n\n\n\nTeachers: Jennifer Abel (University of Calgary) and Ian Milligan (University of Waterloo) \n\n\n\nLevel: Intermediate \n\n\n\nFormat: Workshop \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: \n\n\n\nParticipants should also read the executive summary of the report before the workshop. \n\n\n\nParticipants should be involved in RDM-supporting work in their institution; e.g.\, in the library\, research office\, IT/research computing\, ethics\, etc.

SUMMARY:Metadata in the DRI Ecosystem: A Pragmatic Introduction
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 19 2025 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription: Metadata is as metadata does. As researchers and institutions embrace digital research infrastructures (DRIs) and digital tools for conducting research\, researchers need a better and deeper practical understanding of metadata in these new digital contexts.  \n\n\n\nUsually defined as essentially being data about data\, metadata provides additional information or context about an item (a digital object\, a piece of data..). Most people have an intuitive understanding of the ways metadata can make it easier to understand\, manage\, and organize digital items\, based on their experiences interacting with metadata in practice–from managing personal files in their own computers or on the cloud\, to using library catalogues or scientific databases. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will aim to demystify DRI metadata by experiencing it “in action” across three data services: Borealis\, Scholars GeoPortal\, and Odesi. The goal is to connect the (sometimes arcane) metadata best practices and recommendations with some actual\, practical (and often surprising!) implications of your metadata decisions. \n\n\n\nTeacher: Alicia Urquidi Diaz (OCUL\, Scholars Portal\, University of Toronto) \n\n\n\nLevel: Introductory \n\n\n\nFormat: Workshop \n\n\n\nPrerequisites: None

SUMMARY:Critical Editing and Interpretation in TEI
DESCRIPTION:Date: June 27th 2025 \n\n\n\nLocation: UBC Digital Scholarship Lab\, Koerner Library\, 4th floor \n\n\n\nRecommended Reading \n\n\n\nBeshero-Bondar\, Elisa\, Lee Skallerup Bessette\, Quinn Dombrowski\, and Roopika Risam. “DSC #5: The DSC and the Impossible TEI Quandaries.” The Data-Sitters Club. June 25\, 2020. https://doi.org/10.25740/wq850xt2646. \n\n\n\nThis session will offer an introduction to critical digital editing in TEI. In particular\, this session will provide a hands-on introduction to how the TEI facilitates editorial markup for manuscript and print texts. Topics will include encoding manuscript features–such as additions\, deletions\, and other revisions in one or more hands–and editorial interventions\, such as editorial notes\, gaps\, and supplied text; marking up interpretations and mechanisms for encoding analysis; and handling of figures\, tables\, and images. \n\n\n\nWe recommend installing Oxygen XML Editor. If you do not have a current subscription\, 30-day trial licenses are available here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/register.html. A limited number of computers in the UBC Digital Scholarship Lab have licensed Oxygen XML installed if you prefer to work on those machines (note: you will need to save your work to cloud storage or a portable device as the computers are wiped each night).

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.
