This course is a great way to prepare for the advancement of the digital world, with building skills such as determining the validity of a source or choosing the best research method. The best part of this course is working on WordPress, which I used for my Business Analytics portfolio. It would be helpful for […]
Digital Essay Tools
I decided to use Zotero, Voyant tools, excel (for the pie chart), and Tableau Public for my final project. I had prior experience with using Excel for making visualizations, but our activity from class has given me a reason to look further into the capabilities of Excel. After looking through all the options, I chose […]
Mapping Jewish LA
The project I chose is “Mappng Jewish LA“. The project aims to inspire new research, teaching, and community engagement by facilitating access to archives through multimodal digital exhibitions curated by leading scholars. UCLA Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies created this project, and scholars and students can upload their articles and visualizations if it […]
Learning basic mapping
I enjoyed working on Tableau Public last time, so I also decided to learn how to use its mapping feature. My boss also told me that Tableau is the best visualization tool he has worked with, so I decided it would be the most useful to learn. First, I needed to manipulate the data to […]
Conference Suggestions
The meeting reminded me that I should have an overarching idea to help the essay flow better instead of splitting the essay into two different topics. The first step I will take is to find an article that defines autodidactic learning, its various benefits, and how it has evolved over the years. I was also recommended […]

I found the excel ones more straightforward due to my prior experience with excel. However, Tableau public was challenging at first. I did not understand how to import data or make graphs, so Iooked it up […]
The importance of affordances
Functional affordances pertain to “what the site can actually do”. One primary affordance that the website offers is the ability to look up the availability and locations of books and articles through the library catalog. Students can gain access to the library’s extensive collection of databases when doing research and have access to services such […]
Data Visualizations
Source: https://www.clearvuehealth.com/cte/football/ The visualization is a warning against the risk of CTE for football players. It is successful because it visually demonstrates a strong correlation between CTE and prior football experience. The almost hundred percent for NFL players was most convincing since I have heard about the high number of NFL players being diagnosed with […]
Health Help
I would create an app in the health sector that is like a personal doctor in the palm of your hand. The app would be called “Health Help”. It will periodically check in on you and ask about your current physical state, or you can open the app when you have questions about improving your […]
