I taught immersion sessions for the NDSR Art program in 2017 and 2018. These sessions have acquired the title of “Think Like a Computer,” which comes from a series of talks and lectures I’ve done for librarians to introduce basic computing concepts and teach preservation of digital objects just the same way I might explain preservation of books and papers. We start with how the things are made and how they operate and that gives us the basis for making informed decisions about how to perpetuate access to them, and to respect the particular affordances that make them what they are.
Slides from these talks are available at this Google drive link (though I may replace this version in a few weeks based on questions and feedback).
