Comments for The Quintessence of Ham http://quintessenceofham.org The story of his assiette of popes-eyes, the quintessence of ham for sauce, and the gravy of twenty-two partridges for sauce for a brace, was always beyond the credit of any sensible person. –William Verral, A Complete System of Cookery Fri, 28 May 2010 15:03:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 Comment on Diderot as Digital Humanist by Thomason http://quintessenceofham.org/2010/05/28/diderot-as-digital-humanist/comment-page-1/#comment-13927 Thomason Fri, 28 May 2010 15:03:26 +0000 http://quintessenceofham.org/?p=179#comment-13927 Your mention of the evanescence of digital work always makes me recall the end of a Rod Serling, Twilight Zone episode. A bookish fellow, lunching in the rare books vault of the library, survives some catacylsmic end to the world. He organizes, on the steps of the library, all the books he intends to spend his days reading. He then drops, and breaks his glasses.

There is stuff here I had no awareness of. I'm keen to explore further. Cheers. Sean, you have opened a whole new level of functionality for Zotero in my classes.

I am finalizing my syllabus now. Am doing a course that asks students to evaluate sites/neighborhoods in the regional landscape and write about them. They contribute to an Omeka install (Teaching & Learning Cleveland) and keep posters in which they analyze/explore the materials useful to their paper. I evaluate that periodically with early papers (as a way to make sure they don't veer too far off track--so less "assessment" and more a way to guide their research.) I am trying to do that with Zotero (as they create a bibliography of all their research materials (both primary and secondary)... And, we're going to have a group as well. I am, oddly enough, less conversant with Zotero than Omeka ... will let you know what works or, more likely, doesn't. thanks! Thanks Sean… I am finalizing my syllabus now.

In the past I have evaluated students' research collections along with the final paper, but this time around I may try some form of collaborative tagging in the early weeks to help students identify reliable sources.
