Ensure your mentee has access to the necessary technology to carry out the project they will undertake.You have shared background readings relevant to the work your mentee will undertake over the summer and communicate to them what you want them to get out of reading the material (e.g. come up with three questions per reading, write a short summary, underline all the terms that are new to you, etc.).Find out about any additional commitments that your mentee has that are part of their virtual SR-EIP. Many virtual SR-EIP programs will include programming that is supplemental to the research experience that can be discipline-specific, enrichment oriented, intended to provide and build a supportive network. or a combination of all three. For example, many SR-EIP participants are members of mandatory seminars, take GRE classes, and participate in mandatory social outings. These commitments are important to the success of the program. Keep them in mind as you plan out the work that your mentee will do during the summer. Reach out to your program’s summer program coordinator for more information.Inquire about your mentee’s responsibilities at home. Many students may also be caregivers or have jobs while at home. You and your mentee will need to adjust the work they are doing to accommodate those responsibilities. Emphasize the goal of adjusting the project when inquiring about students competing responsibilities. The goal is to avoid putting the student on the spot by creating a conflict between the work you want them to do and their family obligations. Given the extraordinary pressures created by social distancing, a little compassion and flexibility here goes a long way.Have a conversation with the coordinator for the SR-EIP program at your campus to be briefed on what they will be doing to help onboard your mentee. Also, reach out to someone from your mentee’s home campus to try to get a sense of where your mentee will be coming from. If your mentee is coming from a Leadership Alliance institution, speak to your mentee’s Institutional Coordinator and faculty advisor. They will have the greatest familiarity with SR-EIP as a whole, as well as your mentee’s academic profile. If the mentee will be working with someone else on your research team, have a videoconference with that person to coordinate expectations and encourage that person to reach out to the mentee directly before the program begins. Plan some introductory activities for the mentee such as a virtual tour of the campus via Google Street View, a team Zoom meeting, departmental Zoom seminar, or a get-to-know-you virtual tabletop game night the research team, etc.

It’s been a few years since I’ve looked at Mukurtu, a digital collection platform that was built in collaboration with Indigenous groups to reflect and support cultural protocols.

For example, a zinester who wrote about questioning their sexuality as a young person in a zine distributed to their friends

To listen to the characters voice brings the original language, the accent, the feminine or masculine characters and the video brings the facial and body gestures.

digital matching can be undertaken by unskilled workers with minimal archaeological training and that matching can be safely done with minimal handling of fragile primary source material. Moreover, physical access to the material is only needed for acquisition and final verification and assembly; the software can be used to search for fragment matching remotely, at any time. This opens up possibilities for future crowdsourcing of the matching process, and our team is currently exploring viable options. The virtual table tops are quicker to produce, more accurate, easier to read and easier to update than traditional outline drawings of fresco fragments. A by-product of the Griphos system is high quality digital surrogates of each fragment piece (1/4mm resolution 3D models and 600dpi images) organized in a database that can be used for further study, as well as for producing reproductions for catalogues and publications.

The first step in aiding the sorting of fresco fragments is digitization. Each fragment is placed face-down on a turntable, scanned via a 3D scanning system (see Figure below), turned face-up and scanned again. Alignment is performed automatically, with the operator verifying the results and correcting any errors. A flatbed scanner is used to capture high resolution colour images and texture information of the front surface of each fragment, with the back surface being scanned once for documentation purposes. This yields a throughput of approximately ten fragments per hour, made possible through the bespoke, end-to-end design of the acquisition pipeline.
