What we will do in this session:
Outline Walkthrough of initial questions you will want to ask about your project (in order of importance). Workshop Learn from each other (as potential future users!) what elements to focus on, and “phase” the project. Where to Go! Options for hosting, disseminating, and peer-reviewing your digital projects. (including when ECRs might want to “go live” with their DH work)
