Solidarity in the times of COVID-19
by Ernesto Priego 26 Mar '20

26 Mar '20

Dear all, I simply want to send a message of empathy, solidarity and love to all of you in these exceptional times. DH colleagues in China, Italy, Spain, and the rest of the world have been on my mind. I hope you are staying healthy and safe. As some of you know I am based in London, UK. If you want to follow a British perspective of the situation, a good way is to follow the dedicated live blog from the Guardian. Latest updates at the time of writing at https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2020/mar/24/coronavirus-liv… Needless to say, the main source for data live updates is the Johns Hopkins interactive map https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html (and their whole resource center of course).

Fwd: Help with Assignments in Converting to Online Courses
by Bordalejo, Barbara 24 Mar '20

24 Mar '20

FYI: free resources. Begin forwarded message: From: "Katherine D. Harris" <katherine.harris(a)SJSU.EDU<mailto:katherine.harris@SJSU.EDU>> Subject: Help with Assignments in Converting to Online Courses Date: March 24, 2020 at 2:07:38 PM CST To: TEXTUALSCHOLARSHIP(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:TEXTUALSCHOLARSHIP@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Reply-To: Textual Scholarship <TEXTUALSCHOLARSHIP(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:TEXTUALSCHOLARSHIP@JISCMAIL.AC.UK>> Hi all, We are releasing our project, Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities<https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/>, in it's "pre-print" digital platform in light of the national emergency and the widespread, last-minute conversion to online or distance education. This project includes 59 keywords<https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/keyword> (Collaboration, Textual Analysis, Language Learning, and more) about how to teaching a particular concept digitally. But, the most important aspect for us right now: each keyword offers 10 annotated artifacts -- that's more than 590 assignments, syllabi, rubrics, articles available right now. All FREE! It will remain open access (digital) forever. Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities is a curated collection of reusable resources for teaching and research. Organized by keyword, each annotated artifact can be saved, shared, and downloaded. You can build and save your own collection of keywords and artifacts for ease of access. You may also download assignments and readings for immediate use. Almost every pedagogical artifact has a Creative Commons license and is meant to be downloaded, revised, and shared. In order to find the things you're really interested in immediately, you can use the tags and search bar<https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/search>. For instance, if you're interested in collaboration, other than reading the keyword entry, Collaboration, use the tag to find other pedagogical artifacts on collaboration<https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/search/tag/Collaboration> (196!). If a colleague is just starting out in terms of converting courses to online, check out the tag "getting started<https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/search/tag/Getting%20started>" for low barrier to entry artifacts. See here on how to use the site: https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/about For a longer treatise on Digital Pedagogy, see our lengthy introduction (or save it for later, because you're in the throes of Zooming with your students): https://digitalpedagogy.hcommons.org/introduction/getting-started-and-overv… The project isn't just about literature pedagogy. All kinds of assignments can be revised to be used in a wide variety of disciplines. There are still some blips with some of the contents because we're running it through the final pre-print review. But, the entire collection is and will remain available and ready to use right now in a moment when we could all use a bit of help. Email me with questions. All best, Kathy ******************** Dr. Katherine D.

Coronavirus and digital methods
by Ernesto Priego 17 Mar '20

17 Mar '20

Hello all, I hope everyone is doing well and keeping healthy. It seems to me the novel coronavirus pandemic is giving us some very practical examples of how poorly prepared higher education institutions remain culturally (socially) and technologically to respond to situations that challenge the privilege of physical, real time presence. It will also highlight differences in infrastructural development across institutions and countries, social and academic customs, and issues around access, mobility, engagement, pace of change. I thought I'd share two readings for context: Reputation over responsibility: UK HE and the Covid-19 crisis https://link.medium.com/liEl54MfN4 and Why are some colleges closing over virus concerns while others stay open? https://ihenow.com/2IIHZmJ These articles do not specifically address the issue of digital technology, online learning, digital methods of delivery, assessment and participation, but I hope they can -random as they may potentially be seen- provoke perhaps further thought and discussion of our role as academics working in and with digital scholarship in scenarios like the one the world is facing these days. Is your university/college closed or considering closing? What role can the digital humanities play in scenarios where social distancing measures are implemented more thoroughly and widely?

We welcome your suggestions for projects you’d like to see featured; all we need is for someone associated with the project to answer these questions, and send an image (https://github.com/go-dh/arounddh2020/wiki/Interview-questions-for-Around-D…). For this week, we have Polly Duxfield and Angus Ward sharing TranscribeEstoria, a crowdsourced transcription pilot for a medieval Spanish manuscript: http://arounddh.org/en/transcribe-estoria Please get in touch if you have future project ideas!

Fwd: Public request to take stronger measures of social distancing across the UK with immediate effect
by Ernesto Priego 13 Mar '20

13 Mar '20

*** Please accept apologies for multiple posting *** From: Vincenzo Nicosia <v.nicosia(a)qmul.ac.uk> Sent: Friday, March 13, 2020 4:16 PM To: ac-maths Subject: Public request to take stronger measures of social distancing across the UK with immediate effect *** Please accept apologies for multiple posting *** Dear Colleagues, we are collecting signatures of UK scientists and researchers to the attached statement related to the Cororavirus crisis. We believe that the UK Government should take stronger social containment actions in order to mitigate the exponential growth, and to avoid the NHS to collapse at a time when it is most needed. If you want to be included as a signatory, please send an email from your institutional address with your name, title, and affiliation to Vincenzo Nicosia (QMUL) <v.nicosia(a)qmul.ac.uk>. We will collect all the signatures and publish the letter through the media, keeping all the signatories updated in the process. We would be grateful if you could circulate this among scientists in your communities.
