The lively workshop discussion revealed both how much the participants all had in common, and how much they had to learn from each other. Their discussion highlighted how disconnected and geographically siloed archival education programs still continue to be, despite opportunities for international collaboration between archival educators. With this issue in mind, workshop participants decided to continue their conversations past the AERI 2023 meeting as part of an investigation of current pedagogical practices, teaching needs, and future goals of archival educators in a variety of settings. They met on Zoom and then corresponded asynchronously for a discussion of the structures of their archival education programs, their students’ needs, their teaching goals, how they respond to challenges in their virtual and physical classrooms, and how they can leverage this and future collaborations to benefit both their students and the archival education field as a whole. Using the transcripts of their conversations as a data set, they then used a grounded theory analysis to identify the concepts that are most pressing for educators working in archival studies programs. The edited transcript of the Zoom conversation is presented here.</p>DEVO: an ontology to assist with dermoscopic feature standardization2024-03-05T14:23:54-06:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2288925/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2288925/"><img alt="DEVO: an ontology to assist with dermoscopic feature standardization" title="DEVO: an ontology to assist with dermoscopic feature standardization" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2288925/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Article describes how the utilization of dermoscopic analysis is becoming increasingly critical for diagnosing skin diseases by physicians and even artificial intelligence.

Data was collected from 102 HBCU websites and the National Center for Education Statistics, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and ordinary linear regression. The findings revealed notable disparities in the staffing of archivists and the presence of digital archive collections, with geography, enrollment, and endowment emerging as potentially significant factors. The study highlights the importance of understanding key factors in the availability of digital archive collections and the staffing of archivists at HBCUs.</p>Toward an understanding of Data Literacy Needs in Community Colleges: A Conceptual Framework2023-03-29T09:46:39-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2081852/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2081852/"><img alt="Toward an understanding of Data Literacy Needs in Community Colleges: A Conceptual Framework" title="Toward an understanding of Data Literacy Needs in Community Colleges: A Conceptual Framework" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2081852/thumbnail/"/></a></p><p>Poster focuses on developing a conceptual framework to understand data literacy needs in community colleges.
