The Discovery and Evaluation of Serendipitous Information Encountering in CLARIAH’s Media Suite (DISCERN)

    Prijs: Fellowship awarded competitivelyAcademic

    Description

    This Teaching Fellowship proposal seeks to train Bachelor and Master
    students of the University of Groningen’s Digital Humanities minor and
    master programmes in the assessment and evaluation of serendipitous
    information encountering by focusing specifically on (digital) humanities
    students’ interaction with CLARIAH’s Media Suite. Methodologically,
    students are taught how to use and develop exploratory search tasks,
    research diaries, and videoed search journeys as part of their own user
    studies. Teaching efforts culminate in student insights into how digital tools
    such as the Media Suite shape search and discovery processes within the
    (digital) humanities. Furthermore, the Fellowship develops teaching
    materials to allow students to practice doing user studies and tool criticism
    to map serendipitous information encountering of peers (students of other
    humanities programmes within the University of Groningen). Deliverables
    include teaching materials, student blogposts and videos of use cases, and
    a list of user requirements based on the completed user studies.
