Understanding Hispanic Women\u27s Emotional and Social Presence Experiences: Case Studies of Three Undergraduate Online Learners

The purpose of this study was to describe how Hispanic women experience emotional and social presence in a fully-online program, as described within the Community of Inquiry framework. It focused on how participants articulated what it felt like to be their real selves during online learning experiences. This multiple case study consisted of a series of two individual interviews with three participants. The first phase of data analysis consisted of observational and theoretical memos, which focused on how participants described their emotional and social presence related to curriculum content, structure, or format. This was followed by a within-case and cross-case analysis to derive themes. Three findings emerged as elements that significantly affected participants’ ability to be themselves. They included a) the ways professors honored students’ assets, b) open access to other students/cohort and the instructor, and c) consistency in course design and facilitation. Course content and classmates minimally impacted the participants\u27 ability to be their real selves during learning; the instructor was the single most influential factor in the social and emotional presence experienced. Implications for future practice, including recommendations for online instructors and universities who offer online courses, indicate the importance of honoring students’ assets, open access to instructors, and intentional course design and facilitation

Archives, Access and Artificial Intelligence: Working with Born-Digital and Digitized Archival Collections

Digital archives are transforming the Humanities and the Sciences. Digitized collections of newspapers and books have pushed scholars to develop new, data-rich methods. Born-digital archives are now better preserved and managed thanks to the development of open-access and commercial software. Digital Humanities have moved from the fringe to the center of academia. Yet, the path from the appraisal of records to their analysis is far from smooth. This book explores crossovers between various disciplines to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and use of born-digital archives and other cultural assets
