So You Used to Do Data Collection on Twitter?

October 5, 2023 by Meghan Dennis

From the day the DLP Duo started working on creating Data Stories, we set out with a clear intention to make sure the work we released was properly evaluated.

The heading image for our new Data Story 30 Days to an Article: Archaeological Inspiration for Your Writing. It includes the title in light blue across the top, the words "A Digital Data Story in White on a dark blue background on the left edge". The center area has five sticky notes with a pushpin in them with information about the Data Story. The first light blue outlined sticky note on the upper left reads "How to get started on your writing", next to a it an indigo one reads "A 31-Day calendar of writing prompts". The one on the farthest right is also in light blue and reads "Using search terms for inspiration from data". The bottom line has another indigo outlined one that reads "narrative examples from open data" next to a pink outlined one that reads "how to share work safely on social media". These sit on a white background and have the Open Context logo (two rhombii on their sides to form a book with one dark blue side--left--and one light blue side--right). Underneath that reads "The Alexandria Archive Institute". These sit together underneath the Data Story heading to it's lower right.
