CSI Digital Sandbox Series:
Text mining and analysis offer ways of using computers to help process and “read” large amounts of text. In this workshop, we’ll learn how to perform a number of basic operations related to text analysis, such as calculating word frequencies and building concordances, using the free and cloud-based Voyant Tools. This workshop will also survey some of the potential benefits and challenges of incorporating text mining and analysis into different types of projects.

Anyone who is relatively new to submitting proposals to external agencies will benefit from this seminar that follows a "how-to-do-it" approach. The advice will be as specific as possible. The presentation will include: (1) a description of major sections of typical proposal; (2) a brief description of how to construct a budget; (3) Eastern’s internal requirements for approval of proposals before they are submitted; (4) Eastern’s internal procedures for handling money after a grant has been approved, and (5) regulatory issues such as protection of animals and human subjects.

CSI Digital Sandbox Series: Preparing data for analysis in any given project often requires more time and labor than the analysis itself. OpenRefine is a free application that can help you clean and normalize your data, transform it from one format to another, and even automate complicated tasks like data validation. In this workshop, we’ll explore some of the basic operations used in OpenRefine to help us work with “messy” data. More
The seminar is not about the procedures of writing a grant proposal. The intent is to offer insights rather than advice. The presentation is structured around seven "tips." The tips are the habits of EIU people who have attracted external funding for their interests.

The OLC is an online community in which we share information and ideas about online teaching and learning throughout the year in a group chat in Teams and meet virtually on the third Wednesday of the month. Even if you are unable to attend the meetings, we encourage you to join the community to receive the information through Teams and participate in the discussion. Would you like to see how others are using D2L Brightspace and other instructional technologies to create innovative online learning experiences? Would you like to be one of the first to learn about new instructional technologies and updates to existing technologies? What about sharing campus best practices to improve online teaching and learning? The FDIC invites all EIU faculty and staff interested in online teaching and learning to join the EIU Online Learning Community (OLC). The purpose of the EIU OLC is to:
Information and ideas will be shared with the community throughout the year in a group chat in Teams. The OLC will also meet virtually through Teams on the third Wednesday of the month from 3:00-4:00 PM. The OLC meetings for Fall 2022 will be September 21, October 19, and November 16. An agenda will be provided with the topics that will be discussed at each meeting and of course there will be time for sharing and Q&A. Even if you are unable to attend the OLC meetings, we encourage you to join the community so you will have access to the information shared in Teams. The meetings will be recorded for community members unable to attend. Community members will be added to the OLC team in the Teams app for access to the group chat and upcoming meetings. For questions about the EIU OLC, contact Julie Lockett, Director of Learning Innovation at jalockett@eiu.edu. More
Given the widespread use of podcasts in society, asking students to produce their own could be engaging for the students and a unique, authentic assessment of their learning. In this seminar, participants will hear from two EIU faculty members currently using podcasts as a learning activity in their courses. They will describe how the podcasting assignment is designed, how it is scaffolded into the course, how it is graded, their experiences using it as an individual and group assignment, and answer participant questions. This workshop is for faculty who have considered (or currently are) using podcasts as a learning activity or who want to enhance the learning activities in their in-person or online courses.
This workshop is offered as a hybrid opportunity. A Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants to join in-person or online.

The Keep is EIU’s institutional repository of digitized and archived faculty and student scholarship, publications, shared governance documents, and much more. The Keep is able to host journals, conferences, theses, student papers, faculty publications, images, sound files, and videos.
Connected with The Keep is SelectedWorks, the platform by which EIU faculty can promote their teaching and research works, including syllabi, book chapters, articles, and more.
This workshop presents the variety of services available to faculty for the promotion of their scholarship and the work of their students. Interested in launching a student journal, or needing a stable online platform for a conference? Do you want to see the worldwide and social media impact of your scholarly work? Does your department need a means for digitally archiving department publications/syllabi? Are you a new faculty member at EIU, interested in promoting your classes and your research? Then this site is for you.
Please join us for this brown bag workshop presented by Professor Todd Bruns, Head of Scholarly Communication at Booth Library.

CSI Digital Sandbox Series: Although social media data has many potential applications in research and learning across the disciplines, the data that is available and means of accessing that data is always changing. This brown bag presents an overview of common sources of social media data, ways to access that data, and important considerations to keep in mind if you are incorporating it into your work. Feel free to bring your lunch or a snack to enjoy during this informal, informative session.

In this session, participants will learn about the three-step instructional design model that creates the learning experience with the end goals in mind. It starts by developing measurable course learning objectives, then moves to assessments, and finally course content (instructional materials and learning activities). This workshop is offered as a hybrid session. A Zoom link will be emailed to all registrants to join in-person or live online.
