- 10. Writing for the web Thanks to Amanda Crittenden for giving me permission to adapt her slides!
- 11. Online readers are different Our brains are conditioned to skip around when reading online Online readers have a shortened attention span and reduced comprehension.
- 12. Users won’t read web content unless the text is clear, the words and sentences are simple, and the information is easy to understand. - Jakob Nielson, web usability consultant
- 13. Guidelines to EngageOnline Readers Get to the point Edit out unnecessary information Easy-to-understand language Avoid jargon, marketese, acronyms, and overly scholarly language Writing online is visual – utilize white space and keep paragraphs short.
- 14. MakeContent scannable Front-load content: Put most important information in the first sentence or heading. Since readers scan web pages, each sentence should be able to stand alone and provide information. Use contextual links - don’t say “Click here” or show full web addresses. Use headings and bullets to break up long content
- 15. Use active voice Snape killed Dumbledore. Dumbledore was killed by Snape. Dumbledore was killed. Subject – verb – object makes for stronger writing!
- 16. Summary of Important points Keep content as concise as possible. Use headings to break up long content. Use bulleted lists to break up heavy content. Write in an active voice.

- 20. Metadata helps, but not always Beach, Kalpana, Hawaii, 1926 U of U Digital Collections Published in 1926 Metadata says “Copyright not evaluated” Can you use this?

- 22. All Rights Reserved All Rights Reserved
- 23. Extra Layer = Scholarly Attribution Regardless of copyright status, you still need to give scholarly attribution.
- 25. Citing Images in MLA in a bibliography Provide the artist's name, the work of art italicized, the date of creation, the institution and city where the work is housed.

- NEW METHODS - One type of DS, of course, is using computational methods -- like text mining or GIS software -- to answer traditional scholarly questions. REVERSE – Cultural criticism of technology. But it can also be the reverse, when people use traditional scholarly methods to study digital objects and how those objects are changing and affecting our society. DIGTAL PEDAGOGY - Another important realm of digital scholarship includes exploring new pedagogies so students can engage with materials, learn, and create in new ways that go beyond the traditional research paper. DIGITAL DISSEMINATION - It also includes disseminating research in new ways to reach a broader audience or to provide access to materials that don’t fit into traditional scholarly formats. Examples of this can include things as disparate as creating a short video clip of scholarship that can be shared on social media or an electronic book that links to an archive of high resolution photographs with annotations. Really just a term of convenience to talk about changes in research and teaching that have been opened up by the affordances of technology.

- Marketese – Avoid exclamation points. You are talking to your audience not screaming at them. Exclamation points can make you look unprofessional. Let the content speak for itself.

- Sometimes the passive voice can be your friend. “My paycheck hasn’t arrived yet…” Subject verb object
- Before we give you time t find items and get some hands on time practicing Omeka, I’m going to speak for a moment about copyright.
