In this hybrid Digital Humanities Workshop, participants will learn how to use ClioVis, a timeline-creation software that enables intuitive data visualization. Originally developed by Dr. Erika M. Bsumek, a professor in the Department of History at The University of Texas at Austin, this tool offers a variety of features for designing intuitive and collaborative assignments.
Participants will explore how to create events and their connections, eras, and categories, as well as how to export timelines in different formats (DOC, CSV, URL). They will also learn about presentation and visualization modes, the collaboration interface for group projects, and additional tools such as the syllabus creator and the genealogy importer. Finally, participants will see how ClioVis can be applied to research. The instructor will demonstrate this with an example drawn from his doctoral dissertation on oil in Venezuela. If you want to participate in the hands-on exercise please create a free account.
