Hi, all! The site’s been updated with new information in light of yesterday’s class. To wit:
- More info. The post on Oral History Interviews now includes deadlines, format guidelines, and tips for recording — including information on borrowing recorders from Macaulay.
- More documents. In the same post, you can now find links to a downloadable (hence printable) interview consent form and sample questions.
- More videos. In addition, as promised, you can now watch the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire portion of the New York documentary on the site: http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bonastia14/2014/02/20/triangle-shirtwaist-fire-videos/
- More subscription options. You may notice that you’re getting this as an email; from now on, that will be true for all announcements. You also now have the option of getting email when new posts go up in categories of your choice (e.g. reaction papers), or to get a digest instead of an email-per-post. To set your preferences, go to the bottom of your WordPress dashboard and click on “Subscribe2.”
Related to that last point, I wanted to remind you all that you each have per-post privacy controls: if you ever produce something for class that you’d rather not share with the whole world, you can password-protect it and give the password only to those you want. Just click on the “Visibility” link in the upper right corner of your Edit Post screen. You can also “Publish Privately,” meaning that only you and site administrators (in this case, the professor and I) will be able to see it. This is true on any WordPress installation, including anywhere in the MHC eportfolio system.
If you have any questions, please do ask! Email is fine, and if you want the questions-and-answers to be public, you can also reply to this post with comments.
Happy Thursday,
Ben
