The first step in many digital humanities projects is to digitize whatever corpus is being used. In order to use digitized text without having to manually transcribe it or laboriously cut and paste it, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is often used. Using two scanned pages from Virginia Woolf’s novel The Waves, the following screencast offers some basic instruction on how to OCR scanned pages. A few choices of OCR software are also briefly evaluated.

A free, community version of a popular OCR software is tested as well as a free, web-based version and the quality of these is examined. Finally a trial version of a moderately expensive software is tested and evaluated. By the end of the screencast, viewers should have information that will give them a head start when it comes to undertaking a small scanning/OCR project.

Das Tutorial Digitale Textedition mit TEI besteht aus einer Reihe von Kapiteln, die aufeinander aufbauend in die Kodierung und Edition von Texten nach den Guidelines der Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) einführen. Das Tutorial ist für den Einsatz in der Lehre konzipiert, kann aber auch im Selbststudium eingesetzt werden.

Jedes Kapitel behandelt einen bestimmten Aspekt des Themas und besteht jeweils aus drei Elementen: erstens aus einem Foliensatz für ein Inputreferat, das in die wichtigsten Begriffe und Elemente von TEI einführt; zweitens aus einem oder mehreren Aufgabenblättern, die zur praktischen Einübung des gelernten dienen; und drittens aus den diversen Materialien, die für die Bearbeitung der Aufgaben notwendig sind, bspw. digitale Faksimiles, XML-Dateien, und mehr.

Einführung in Python für Nicht-Informatiker

(entstanden im Rahmen eines BA Digital Humanities Studiengangs)

Dieses Projekt umfasst Ipython notebooks, die Lehrmaterialien

für den Unterricht von Python enthalten. Dieser Einsteigerkurs

in Python richtet sich in erster Linie an Geisteswissenschaftler,

setzt also keine Informatik-Kenntnisse voraus.

Die Notebooks bieten eine Slideshow mit dem Vorteil, dass der Code

sicher korrekt ist. Zur Zeit geht es nicht darum, dass die Notebooks

von den Lernenden verwendet werden.

The Oxford Visual Geomery Groups Computer Vision Practicals is a collection of MATLAB-based self-contained hands-on lab experiences introducing fundamental concepts in visual recognition, including: extracting and matching local features to identify an object in two images regardless of variations in viewpoint, illumination, and other factors; quantising local features into visual words to index and search a large archive of images efficiently; representing images as statistics of local features for coarse image matching and its application to the recognition of object categories; learning image classifiers discriminatively, and in particular support vector machines; evaluating the performance of a retrieval system. The practicals are briefly described below. You can also review the requirements and installation instructions.

A rubric in student language used by elementary students to assess their generalizing skills.

The online geology lab for community college students was developed during two years of forced online synchronous learning brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. This open educational resource is a cohesive laboratory manual intended for two-year, non-major college students from the New York area. Each lab is accompanied by a Teacher’s Guide and an online answer sheet (formatted for the Blackboard learning management system). A multiple-choice format is used for many questions, making the labs easy to grade.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Soil and sediment microorganisms are remarkably diverse and are critical for ecosystem health. However, they are underrepresented in public databases, and assembling new metaproteomic datasets is challenging, which makes it difficult to characterize the microorganisms in specific soil samples. To increase the outputs of soil metaproteomic studies, a recent study compared various database construction strategies. Search strategies using either sample-specific metagenomic databases or public databases produced comparable peptide-spectrum matches for a floodplain soil core. However, a two-step cascaded search combining both types of databases led to greater peptide-spectrum matching. The combination strategy also improved functional annotation of the peptides, and the resulting metaproteome (MetaP) annotations correlated well with the metagenome (MetaG) annotations..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Intermediarios: Introduction to Spanish<>English Community and Legal Translation and Interpreting is intended for students who have advanced skills in both Spanish and English and a basic familiarity with translation and interpretation. Activities are based on the U.S. context. Translation activities increase in difficulty. The sequencing of interpreting activities develops skills gradually by beginning with memory exercises, then moving into class role plays, and finally working with legal interpreting exercises of increasing difficulty. Judicial interpreting activities target the three modes of interpreting used in the judicial setting: sight translation of documents, consecutive interpreting, and simultaneous interpreting.

Statistics are not an end in themselves but they are a means to an end, the end being to draw certain conclusions from them. This has to be done very carefully, otherwise misleading conclusions may be drawn and the whole purpose of doing research may get vitiated. A researcher/statistician besides the collection and analysis of data, has to draw inferences and explain their significance. Through interpretation the meanings and implications of the study become clear. Analysis is not complete without interpretation, and interpretation can not proceed without analysis. Both are, thus, inter-dependent. In this unit, therefore, we will discuss the interpretation of analysed data, summarizing the interpretation and statistical fallacies.

A checklist used by teachers to assess elementary students’ interpretation skills. It can be modified to be used by students as a self-assessment or by peers to provide feedback.

Students learn about video motion capture technology, becoming familiar with concepts such as vector components, magnitudes and directions, position, velocity, and acceleration. They use a (free) classroom data collection and processing tool—the ARK Mirror—to visualize and record 3-D motion. The Augmented Reality Kinematics (ARK) Mirror software collects data via a motion detector. Using an Orbbec Astra Pro 3D camera or Microsoft Kinect (see note below), students can visualize and record a robust set of data and interpret them using statistical and graphical methods. This lesson introduces students to just one possible application of the ARK Mirror software—in the context of a high school physics class. Note: The ARK Mirror is ported to operate on an Orbbec platform. It may also be used with a Microsoft Kinect, although that Microsoft hardware has been discontinued. Refer to the Using ARK Mirror and Microsoft Kinect attachment for how to use the ARK MIrror software with Microsoft Kinect.
