Aim of the course
We encourage students to use data in their projects.
This course is a gentle, programming-free combination of lectures and practical demonstrations of real-life data workflows in various Social Studies and Humanities (SSH) research areas. It aims at motivating the SSH students to improve their digital literacy in more advanced data analytics courses. The curriculum has arisen as a joint effort of Charles University (CU), University of Warsaw (UW), and Sorbonne University (SU).
This course does not require any prior data analysis or computer science experience. All you need to get started is basic computer literacy.
You will learn how to tell data stories and captivate your future audiences with TableauPublic, how to use the systems Transkribus and Pero for the digitization of historical documents, and how to annotate texts in TEITOK. We will acquaint yout with the André Mazon's digitized correspondence archive and with the migrant stories published at i am a migrant.
We cordially invite you to the workshop 2023.
