Mid-Stage Project Review - DIGH 501

[taylorcate]

quoted from Dr. Roberts' email on 3/31/19

For Tuesday:
Everyone should prepare a 10-15 minute or so presentation to the class on where your project stands at mid-stage.

For when you are presenting: Use your Design Brief as the structure for your presentation. Share with us -
Your research question:
You should be moving towards how you present your research question to interested audiences. This involves not only stating your question, but constructing a narrative of how you came to the question and where it fits in the scholarly literature;
Your audience:
Share with us any insights about how the process of building the project has reinforced or challenged the audiences that you laid out for the project.
Your approach:
Here you should take us through what you have built thus far - using your digital projects as evidence of your approach. We know this is all work-in-progress! Our goal is to be helpful - not to add to the stress.
Your MoSCoWs:
Where are you in achieving these? Do you have to do any rethinking of them at this stage in the process?

When you are not presenting, you assignment is to be a reviewer (taken from the syllabus)
As a reviewer, your job is to observe and describe the project, to point to places that may need further elaboration or development, and to share what you'd like to know more about.

Mid-Stage Progress Analysis

intended to be sent to Dr. Roberts along with the presentation slides

I feel pretty good about the progress I've made on this project so far this semester. In April, my goals are to: record as many time-lapse transcriptions as possible, continue collaboration with Jenny Dickinson (@spinninjenny) the project's illustrator, determine the variorum plot/potential paths, and begin designing the edition website. I've come to the conclusion that finishing this project in time for my capstone defense is highly unlikely. After giving my presentation at the Wordsworth Trust on March 6th, 2019, Jeff told me he'd like to link to my project on the Trust's website. Because of this, I have determined the absolute "deadline" for my project is April 2020; just in time to send it off to Jeff for the Reimagining Wordsworth Anniversary Celebration. This timeline was also determined by my decision to bring an international collaborator onto the project. Given that the scale of the project has grown, it made sense that the timeline grow in proportion to it. I hope this is an acceptable reason for not submitting a "finished product" but rather a rich "proof of concept" design.
I am currently working on creating a sample of the time-lapse transcriptions which I hope to send to you later this evening. If I am not able to send it early I will bring a sample of the transcriptions with me to class on Tuesday. Thanks to Nadine, our MUDDLEr in France, I have a great process description to go off of - see Issue #1 Dearest Nadine, for the full conversation. I will be using the IPad and Pencil to make these transcriptions so thank you so much for helping me get the equipment I need for my project. I do have to say though, adjusting to Apple products is a feat for a Windows native. I am having a hard time getting things accomplished because I'm spending so much time learning how the system works. Hoping to streamline the process soon!
