Crowdsourcing or Collaboration?: Using Digital Tools to Promote Interdisciplinary Work
Monday, March 27, 12-1:30pm, Hackett Room, SRH 1.313
A little help goes a long way, especially in digital scholarship. In this session, Dr. Laura Matthew will share her experience partnering with information technology staff to develop Nahuatl/Nawat in Central America, a forthcoming portal that facilitates the collaborative compilation, interpretation, and transcription of Nahuatl-language documents. She will discuss the project’s management, crowdsourcing/collaboration issues, and their experimentation with various crowdsourcing tools, among them Scripto, an open-source platform that enables community transcriptions of primary sources.
