This course was taught by Professor Isabel\u00a0Balseiro, who received a Digital Course Development Grant from the Mellon Foundation. The team helped with the course design and\u00a0taught two workshops on Scalar for the students when the course was taught in Spring 2018 and Fall 2018. We also\u00a0conducted two rounds\u00a0of interviews to learn about students\u2019 feedback on the Scalar component\u00a0of the course.\u00a0Based on the students\u2019 feedback we were able to make several\u00a0instructional design recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the team believed that Scalar served as a valuable tool for teaching the course with its features such as media integration, visual display of classwork, writing collaboratively in non-sequential order, and easy integration of creative components (Google Map, Timeline JS, etc.). The research concluded\u00a0that\u00a0scaffolding strategies\u00a0are particularly important when integrating a tool like\u00a0Scalar. The team hopes that the data-based instructional design recommendations they provided for integrating Scalar could help both students and instructors accrue greater educational benefits. They\u00a0ultimately aim at pointing out best practices for integrating this tool into the broader ecosystem of Digital Humanities.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any\u00a0questions or comments about this\u00a0research, please contact the ARCS team at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:&#97;rcs-l&#64;&#103;.h&#109;&#99;.&#101;&#100;&#117;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#97;&#114;&#99;s-l&#64;g&#46;h&#109;&#99;&#46;&#101;&#100;&#117;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>ARCS team members are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Elizabeth\u00a0Hodas,\u00a0Senior Director,\u00a0ARCS<\/li>\n<li>James Sadler, Instructional Technologist<\/li>\n<li>Yi Luo, Instructional Designer<\/li>\n<li>Aashita\u00a0Kesarwani, Scientific Computing Specialist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Academic and Research Computing\u00a0Services\u00a0(ARCS) team presented a poster\u202ftitled, \u201cDigital Humanities: Integrating Scalar into an Undergraduate American Studies Course\u201d at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,5,18,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-academic-and-research-computing-services","category-from-cis","category-innovation","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/cis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
