SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion  Thomas Paine's Common Sense (1776)
DESCRIPTION:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion \nThomas Paine’s Common Sense (1976) \nFor the month of October\, we will discuss Thomas Paine‘s wildly influential American revolutionary tract Common Sense\, radically advocating full independence from the British crown. Common Sense has been called “the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era.” \n  \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send me an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). I will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, October 29. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, October 29\, you will receive an email from me with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that I will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those I have emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of our meeting. \nIf you have never participated in an online audio/video meeting before\, when you join you will most likely see a box at the top of your screen asking if you want to open Zoom. After opening\, you will likely be asked to “Join with Computer Audio\,” which of course you will do. When you hover over the screen\, you will see microphone and camera icons at the bottom left that you may use to turn your own sound and video on and off. \nI think that’s all you need to know. I look forward to virtually seeing and hearing you at our discussion! \nThese discussions are free and open to the public\, and I invite you to participate.

SUMMARY:Cleaning up Spreadsheets: Tidy Data
DESCRIPTION:Do you have data that you are collecting in a spreadsheet? Probably! Do you need to clean it up and make it work better? Almost certainly.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion: Petronius--Satyricon
DESCRIPTION:Petronius\nSatyricon\, Volumes 1 & 2. (early 1st century CE) \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, August 27.

This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the UWM campus.

Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.

SUMMARY:Georeferencing Historical Maps with Allmaps
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to use Allmaps (allmaps.org) to georeference digitized maps from digital collections. Georeferencing makes it possible to add a historical map layer to a digital map and incorporate these valuable historical objects into digital exhibits\, DH projects\, and historical and geographic research. We will share tips on how to use Allmaps – a popular open source \, browser-based georeferencing tool – and where to find rich troves of compatible digitized historical maps. (Hint: Right here at UWM Libraries!)\n\nWorkshop led by Stephen Appel.  VIRTUAL ONLY\n\nRegister here: https://uwm.edu/libraries/digital-humanities/dh-lab-events/dh-event-registration-georeferencing-historical-maps-with-allmaps/

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion: Alice Munro\, Three Short Stories
DESCRIPTION:Alice Munro \n“Dance of the Happy Shades” 1968\n“Boys and Girls” 1968\n“The Beggar Maid” 1977 \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, March 26. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, March 26\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry.

It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.

SUMMARY:Introduction to OER Adoption Virtual Workshop 
DESCRIPTION:This virtual workshop on Friday\, October 18 from 12:00-1:30 pm will introduce faculty to open textbooks — a type of open educational resource (OER) — and the benefits these textbooks offer: affordability\, pedagogical practice\, student learning\, and engagement. Faculty are then invited to engage with open textbooks by writing a brief review of a book in the Open Textbook Library. \nSeveral UWM courses use Open Textbooks\, removing textbook cost as a barrier to student success. For more information about UWM’s Open Textbook and OER initiative\, see the guide to Open Educational Resources. \nPlease register to attend. Participants are asked to select an open textbook for review. Instructors who complete the review process will be eligible for a $200 stipend.  Stipends are awarded as an S&E transfer from GPR/101 to GPR/101 lines only. \nRegister for the virtual workshop.  Please use this form to RSVP by Wednesday\, October 16. \nContact Kristin Woodward (kristinw@uwm.edu) for additional details or to request accommodations.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion:  Four Short Stories by Arthur C. Clarke
DESCRIPTION:Arthur C. Clarke\n“Transience” (1949)\n“The Sentinel” (1951)\n“The Nine Billion Names of God” (1952)\n“The Star” (1954) \nFor the month of July\, we will be reading four short stories by British science fiction writer\, futurist\, and inventor Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008). Clarke is perhaps known to most for co-writing the screenplay for the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as for the novel it was based on\, but his work spans decades and includes science and science fiction writing for which he was awarded the UNESCO Kalinga Prize for popularizing science. Clarke also helped popularize the idea of geostationary satellites for communication to the extent that geostationary orbit is often called the Clarke Orbit.

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion
DESCRIPTION:E.T.A. Hoffmann \n“The Automata” (1814)\n“The Sandman” (1817) \n\nFor the month of June we will be reading two stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822)\, a German Romantic author mainly of fantasy and gothic horror. Hoffmann was also a composer\, music critic\, and artist (the image of him here is a self portrait). The two stories selected for this month’s readings exemplify Hoffmann’s use of the uncanny and both feature automatons that appear to be human. Join us for a discussion of Hoffmann’s gothic tales! \n\nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later).

SUMMARY:Introduction to OER Adoption Virtual Workshop 
DESCRIPTION:This virtual workshop on Wednesday\, March 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. will introduce faculty to open textbooks — a type of open educational resource (OER) — and the benefits these textbooks offer: affordability\, pedagogical practice\, student learning\, and engagement. Faculty are then invited to engage with open textbooks by writing a brief review of a book in the Open Textbook Library. \nSeveral UWM courses use Open Textbooks\, removing textbook cost as a barrier to student success. For more information about UWM’s Open Textbook and OER initiative\, see the guide to Open Educational Resources. \nFor a self-paced training course on OER at UWM\, see Open Textbooks and OER Training for Instructors. \nPlease register to attend. Participants are asked to select an open textbook for review. Instructors who complete the review process will be eligible for a $200 stipend.  Stipends are awarded as an S&E transfer from GPR/101 to GPR/101 lines only. \nRegister for the virtual workshop.  Please use this form to RSVP by Tuesday\, March 26. \nContact Kristin Woodward (kristinw@uwm.edu) for additional details or to request accommodations.
