Main contributors:
Jillian Kinzie, Cindy Cogswell
Summary:
The most commonly reported use of NSSE results is for accreditation. NSSE's Accreditation Toolkits, designed for all regional and several specialized associations, map NSSE processes and items to the requirements and standards for each accreditor. The toolkits are available on the NSSE website. This webinar shows how NSSE items map to accreditation standards and discusses the potential for using NSSE data in institutional self-studies and quality improvement plans. The updated survey provides new items, topical modules, and more actionable Engagement Indicators, relevant to accreditation. If your self-study and site visit is fast approaching, or 5 or more years out, this session will be useful for your accreditation team.

Summary:
The most commonly reported use of NSSE results is assessment for accreditation. NSSE's Accreditation Toolkits, designed for all regional and several specialized associations, articulate the requirements and standards for each accreditor with NSSE process and items. In this session we show how NSSE items map to accreditation standards, discuss the potential for using NSSE data in institutional self-studies and quality improvement plans, and explore ways colleges and universities have used their results in accreditation and to measure and monitor institutional effectiveness.

15313. Using NSSE data in student affairs (1:03:23)

Summary:
As demands for accountability increase, student affairs divisions are pressed to demonstrate learning outcomes and conduct assessment. This webinar offers student affairs professionals ways to explore their NSSE results to gain valuable information about student experiences and suggestions for corroborating these trends with existing institutional data.

15314. Using NSSE Data to Assess and Enhance High-Impact Practices (1:01:29)

Summary:
During the webinar, the presenters will demonstrate ways NSSE data can be leveraged to measure student participation in HIPs. Furthermore, there will be an emphasis on how to relate aspects of engagement with institutional measurements of HIP participation. The overall aim is to prepare participants to facilitate campus dialogue about high-impact practices and maximize the benefits of the updated NSSE survey data and reports.

15315. Using Omeka: Cultural Heritage Projects at Indiana University (55:21)

Summary:
In recent years, Omeka has become an important tool for the exhibit of digital object collections. As with many technologies, Omeka can present some issues with setup and configuration, but overall, Omeka is easy to use for managing digital content. A few of the recent projects to use Omeka are the Lilly Library's War of 1812 (http://collections.libraries.iub.edu/warof1812/) and Indiana University Library Moving Image Archive's World War II Propaganda Films (http://collections.libraries.iub.edu/IULMIA/). The two projects discussed at this session are the Don C. Belton memorial site by the English Department, presented by Erika Jenns, and the ‰ÛÏRegeneration in Digital Contexts: Early Black Film‰Û conference and workshop site presented by the Black Film Center/Archive graduate assistant Ardea Smith. Using Omeka to Represent the Library of Professor Don C. Belton (http://belton.indiana.edu/) presented by Erika Jenns Using my experiences cataloguing the collection of Professor Don Belton, the late novelist, book collector, and English professor at Indiana University Bloomington, I will address the benefits of using Omeka to create a dynamic access point for users. After Belton's death in 2009, the bulk of his collection was transferred to branch libraries on campus. Remaining books were kept by IU's English Department, which does not have a formal library. To make the collection more visible, I created an Omeka website, meant to function as a precursor to a visit to the collection. The site uses tags, rendering it more searchable. It also includes scans of book covers, digitized videos of Belton lecturing and reading, and posts by students who have worked with the collection. The site represents Belton's books both physically and electronically. Coupled with biographical information, it highlights Belton's research interests, sources of inspiration, and some of the works he produced. The Proceedings of Regeneration in Digital Contexts: Early Black Film (http://www.indiana.edu/~regener8/regeneration/) presented by Ardea Smith In 2013, the Black Film Center/Archive received a National Endowment for the Humanities Level I Digital Humanities Start-Up Grant to convene an interdisciplinary group of scholars, archivists, curators, and digital humanities technology specialists for a two-day conference and workshop, ‰ÛÏRegeneration in Digital Contexts: Early Black Film.‰Û The conference and workshop proceedings were documented on video and fully transcribed. To enhance public access to these proceedings, I oversaw the creation of a website utilizing the open-source Omeka platform and VideoStream 2 plugin designed by project advisor Will Cowan at Indiana University. The website anchors streaming video content to keyword-searchable transcripts of the event proceedings. Drawing on the development process for the ‰ÛÏRegeneration‰Û website, my presentation will discuss the practical issues of building of an Omeka-based site using IU's webserve system with an aim to help individuals new to digital archival creation.

Summary:
Episode 3 from the Agency for Instructional Television series In Other Words. In this television program focusing on communication skills, host Stephanie Edwards provides on-camera commentary for a story about a junior high school student who has not prepared properly for an interview she is conducting. A nondramatic segment presents police officer Bob Brooks explaining how he uses interviewing skills at the scene of a crime.

15317. Using Probability (22:40)

Date:

Main contributors:
National Instructional Television
Summary:
Episode 24 of It Figures, a 28-part mathematics series for fourth graders. Each episode introduces real-life situations involving math concepts that can, at times, prove difficult. Often a child gets caught in the problem that does not come out successfully, but experience proves the best teacher. Capsizing the information taught in each program is a cartoon sequence. These cartoons provide previews of what follows from a live-action sequence. The content of It Figures was developed by a consortium of 31 state and provincial education agencies. Managing the project were Ed Cohen and the late Larry Walcoff. Individual programs were produced by Larry Wood Productions (in the facilities of KLVX in Las Vegas), the Illinois State Board of Education, New Jersey Network (NJN), KLCS in Los Angeles, Maryland Instructional Television and South Carolina ETV.

15318. Using R for Text Analysis (59:41)

Gniady, Tassie
Summary:
R is a statistical package used by many digital textual analysts to explore aspects of styelometry. Here at IU, we have an instance of the popular Rstudio running on Karst to facilitate work on large corpora. However, it is often helpful to begin work with a small test set (sometimes even a single text) and scale up. The CyberDH group has put together code packages and annotated RNotebooks that are available on GitHub to serve as a friendly introduction to how the process of scaling up might work. This talk will step through the basics of these exercises and the visualizations that result.

15320. Using Text Mining to Expose Spies and Detectives in a Digital-History Exploration of the Spanish-... (47:03)

Summary:
In 1897-1898 secret agents from the Pinkerton National Detective Agency were following American war correspondents in Havana, Cuba. These agents were all Americans yet they all seemingly had a common employer: the Spanish diplomatic minister in the United States. The mission of the operatives that were sent to Cuba was to inform, as well as to sabotage, the journalist work of these correspondents who kept feeding the animosity of American public opinion against Spain. They also sought to identify other spies who were helping the Cubans as well as the Americans. In this mÌ©lange of (private) espionage and (public) published stories, who were the ‰Û÷real' spies and for whom did they really work for? According to the detective reports, what was going on and what stories were being told about the war in Cuba by these American journalists? This brown bag presentation will discuss what we have learned so far from this research as well as how the tools provided by digital humanities were used to uncover spies, the crafting of narratives, and the relationships among them through time.
