This week we had DAHL Shorts presentations on Omeka S (a web publishing, content management, and database application built specifically for digital humanities) and Gale Digital Scholar Lab (a sophisticated toolset for using digital archives of scanned texts). In the VR Club we ran a successful experiment with a new workflow for creating augmented reality exhibitions.

The team are able to provide advice on Omeka S and many other DH tools and techniques, and can help academics to design and implement funded projects.

Reflecting on your achievements – a systematic and structured approach

Studies of successful and unsuccessful practioners in many fields show that reflecting on achievements is essential. Often after achieving a goal, or just completing a project without being sure of success, people understandably want to have a break, move on to the next thing. So many opportunities are lost in that way: opportunities to learn, improve, try something different, innovate. Lost! This need not be the case. If we follow these simple methods we can ensure that we get the most out of what we do – just as successful practitioners do all the time.
