  1. Digital Scholars Lab Visualizing Time: Timelines as Digital Storytelling Daisy Benson, Information & Instruction Services, Bailey/Howe Library Hope Greenberg, Center for Teaching and Learning

  2. What is a timeline? • Go to http://researchguides.uvm.edu/timelineworkshop • As you look at an example, consider these questions: • What draws you into the timeline? or not? • How do you navigate through the timeline? • Date structure: how exact are the dates (year, month, day, time)? • Number of images: are there multiple images for each time spot? • Are their thumbnails for images in the time markers? • How is crowding/overlapping handled? Can you zoom in and out? Bonus questions that require a visit to the app’s site: • Where is the information stored? • Can you extract it for back-up or later use in another app? Digital Scholars Lab
