This week I was interested to learn about the Digital Scholarship Commons located within the UVIC Libraries website. I have been going to this school now since 2015 and never knew these resources even existed! We were only ever taught about the music specific section of the library and what technology resources we could rent out from them for physically recording music. There is a comment on the front page of the website that says: “WE’RE HERE TO HELP! Our staff are available to teach virtual workshops and provide online consultations and training during the COVID-19 situation” which makes me think this website could have been created or updated to include more content since COVID-19 began.
Another section of this website that I listed above is the “badges” sections. In my Multiliteracies class that I am taking this semester, Rich McCue, who is the DSC Manager & Hacker-in-Chief for the Digital Scholarship Commons, came to our class to do a CANVA workshop where I actually earned my CANVA “badge”. This is so neat to me and I am really interested in taking more of these courses when I can to get more badges to add to a future linked in page.
