charter – Introduction to Digital Humanities

Each group needs to create a charter that is a document that you all will agree to. Someone in the group should bring a printout on Tuesday.

Your Charter is your statement of principles about collaborating together for this project. It should include:

Tentative name for group or project
General principles and values (including ethical principles)
Goals and Outcomes for your group
- Concrete as well as learning/development goals for you all
Team management issues:
- consider issues of Credit, Conflict Management, Maintenance/sustainability (where will your project live after this class is over? Do I need to be part of your Charter?),
- Communication and transparency
- Meetings
- Shared resources to enable collaboration (will you use Google docs? Canvas?)
- Anything else?
Credit and licensing
- Licensing of your project’s work (what license will you give it?
- How will you give credit to each other?
- How will you credit the work of others you use, adapt, research, etc?
Anything else?
