SUMMARY:Learning to Love the Jaggies: Designing Bitmapped Fonts
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 21 2025 \n\n\n\n Instructor: Reg Beatty \n\n\n\nEarly digital type designers were challenged by having a limited grid of pixels to create their letterforms for computers\, handheld devices\, video and arcade games. These blocky fonts were one of the distinguishing features of the 70s through the 90s and are mostly used today for a retro look. \n\n\n\nJoin Reg as he tours the variety and ingenuity of these early types. He’ll concentrate on two designers: Susan Kare\, who created Chicago (which became a defining font for the look of the Macintosh computer); and Zuzana Licko who co-founded Emigre Fonts in 1985 and designed a number of widely-used pixel fonts. He’ll also look at how these designers were inspired by letterforms on textiles.  \n\n\n\nReg will then demonstrate the process of making your own bitmapped font with BitFontMaker2. \n\n\n\nFor those of you that would like a more hands-on experience of the tool there will be a two hour workshop on Friday October 24 (see the following listing to register.)

SUMMARY:Using AI Tools for Research Part II: AI-Based Research Discovery & Workflow Tools
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 28 2025 \n\n\n\nPresenter: Sophie Bury\, Ted Belke \n\n\n\nIn the second part of our two-part series\, we will cover AI-integrated research discovery and workflow tools. This sub-category of AI tools is growing exponentially in number and can be a valuable addition to any serious researcher’s toolkit. Promoting research effectiveness and workflows\, leveraged by AI models that work with large datasets of scholarly information\, they can help conduct literature reviews\, generate literature maps or visualizations\, summarize or analyze scholarly papers and more! We will explore a mix of free and freemium tools that range from the well-established to newly emerging and experimental. This workshop will also compare and contrast the above with library research tools\, which themselves are beginning to integrate AI features. The strengths and limitations of these research discovery and workflow tools will be outlined and pointers on ethical and academic integrity guidelines that apply at York University will be explained. Finally\, we will describe how to effectively use AI tools in tandem with the Library’s discovery tool\, OMNI\, and its many databases to yield best results For a workshop that delves deeper into how to cite AI tools\, and the ethical and academic integrity considerations associated with them\, check out our sister workshop titled “Navigating Academic Integrity: Citing and Ethnical Considerations in the Age of ChatGPT”.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Python: Part 3
DESCRIPTION:Date: November 26th 2025 \n\n\n\nInstructor: Kendra Oudyk \n\n\n\nThis set of five workshops is an introduction to Python programming\, with a focus on skills that are relevant to students and researchers who are working with data\, particularly tabular data. \n\n\n\nThe five workshops cover the following: \n\n\n\n\nPart 1: To understand the basics of Python syntax\, variables\, and data types.\n\n\n\nPart 2: To learn how to work with tabular data in Python\, including reading\, manipulating\, and visualizing data.\n\n\n\nPart 3: To learn how to automate tasks in Python\, including working with multiple files.\n\n\n\nPart 4: To learn to use logic and modularity to make Python code flexible and reusable.\n\n\n\nPart 5: To develop good habits for programming for research in Python\, including handling errors\, debugging\, and writing reliable code.\n\n\n\n\nParticipants must sign up for each workshop individually. It is not necessary to sign up for the first workshop in order to do the second (and so on)\, but note that each workshop will build on the topics covered in previous workshops in this series. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites:\n\n\n\nThere are no prerequisites needed for this series; no prior programming experience is required. \n\n\n\nSetup Instructions:\n\n\n\nIn these workshops\, we will write Python code in a text editor called Visual Studio Code (VS Code). \n\n\n\nPlease follow the following steps/links to complete the setup for this workshop series before you attend: \n\n\n\n\nInstall a Python Interpreter\n\n\n\nInstall Visual Studio Code\n\n\n\nInstall the Python extension for VS Code. If you want more info on installing extensions for VS Code\, see this page on their “Extension Marketplace”\n\n\n\nInstall this Python Debugger extension for VS Code\n\n\n\n\nNOTE: You may use your own preferred text editor or Jupyter Notebooks to write code in these workshops\, but keep in mind that some aspects may be unpredictably different from the way things appear on the instructor’s screen. For example\, the instructor will frequently use the Python Debugger in VS Code\, and other text editors may have entirely different mechanisms for debugging\, and you may have to figure that out on your own. If you want to follow what the instructor is doing exactly\, you should install VS Code and the extensions listed above.

SUMMARY:Making Images Talk: writing inside the poetic web.
DESCRIPTION:Date: December 5 2025 \n\n\n\nHybrid Event: Zoom and In-person at the Collaboratory \n\n\n\nInstructor: Reg Beatty \n\n\n\nThis workshop will examine the practice of Philippine-born internet artist Chia Amisola\, their approach to creating work for the web\, as well as their multi-layered browser-based performances.  \n\n\n\nWe will then follow a number of tutorials that Amisola has posted recently. These give unique insights into their procedures and thinking and suggest new directions for anyone interested in pursuing ‘the poetic web.’ \n\n\n\nAmisola wants us to see the internet\, and our lives online\, in a different way. In their own words\, “Chia Amisola is an artist of agencies and ambiences. Their work is devoted to the internet’s loss\, love\, labor\, and liberation.” \n\n\n\nThis workshop does not require previous knowledge of making web pages and can act as an introduction.

SUMMARY:Introduction to TEI
DESCRIPTION:Description: This 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
