Digital scholarship/academic practice

Digital scholarship/academic practice

Introduction

Digital scholarship here refers to research practices centered around the usage of digital systems.

Due to the evolution of computers and increasingly faster communication technologies science has evolved beyond simply collecting data for a specific project, running some (simple) analysis and publishing results in a scientific journal. Buzzwords like “Big Data”, “cloud computing” and Machine learning/A.I have taken the world, Academia included, by storm. In the following lesson we’ll provide a general introduction regarding relevant concepts and technlogogies, how and when to apply them and guide you towards additional ressources that may help you evolve these skillsets yourself.

Roadmap

We’ll mostly concentrate on the trio of Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning/AI and Cloud Computing in the following content blocks. You’ll also be more generally introduced about relevant concepts like Social Media Analytics, Natural Language Processing, Human-Computer Interaction, Internet of Things (IoT) approach and Social Media Analytics.

The following lessons will mainly consist of introdcutory chapters to the most important aspects where digital litearcy meets modern fields of science.
