      You are a potential math genius! No matter what you feel your abilities are in mathematics, we firmly believe everyone has the capacity and the RIGHT to do better at mathematics.

      In over 10 years of experience working with mathematics students at various levels (elementary, high school, and college), three issues, once properly addressed, will allow you to make rapid progress so you can ACE YOUR MATH CLASS. They are:

      You are a potential math genius! No matter what you feel your abilities are in mathematics, we firmly believe everyone has the capacity and the RIGHT to do better at mathematics.

      In over 10 years of experience working with mathematics students at various levels (elementary, high school, and college), three issues, once properly addressed, will allow you to make rapid progress so you can ACE YOUR MATH CLASS. They are:

      1. false self-limiting beliefs about your abilities;

      2. basic skill road-blocks;

      3. misaligned learning techniques for your learning-type.

      By addressing the three issues above, students who put in effort will drastically improve their mathematical abilities. Furthermore, by working with us, you will master learning techniques that you can profitably apply to help you master any material you need to learn to achieve your academic, professional, and life goals.

  • Visualizing Fedora-managed TEI and MEI documents within Islandora

    The Code4Lib Journal

    The Early Modern Songscapes (EMS) project [1] represents a development partnership between the University of Toronto Scarborough’s Digital Scholarship Unit (DSU), the University of Maryland, and the University of South Carolina.

    The Early Modern Songscapes (EMS) project [1] represents a development partnership between the University of Toronto Scarborough’s Digital Scholarship Unit (DSU), the University of Maryland, and the University of South Carolina. Developers, librarians and faculty from both institutions have collaborated on an intermedia online platform designed to support the scholarly investigation of early modern English song. The first iteration of the platform, launched at the Early modern Songscapes Conference, held February 8-9, 2019 at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, serves Fedora-held Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) and Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) documents through a JavaScript viewer capable of being embedded within the Islandora digital asset management framework. The viewer presents versions of a song’s musical notation and textual underlay followed by the entire song text.

    This article reviews the status of this technology, and the process of developing an XML framework for TEI and MEI editions that would serve the requirements of all stakeholder technologies. Beyond the applicability of this technology in other digital scholarship contexts, the approach may serve others seeking methods for integrating technologies into Islandora or working across institutional development environments.

  • Supporting Oral Histories in Islandora

    Since 2014, the University of Toronto Scarborough Library’s Digital Scholarship Unit (DSU) has been working on an Islandora-based solution for creating and stewarding oral histories (the Oral Histories solution pack). Although regular updates regarding the status of this work have been presented at Open Repositories conferences, this is the first article to describe the goals and features associated with this codebase, as well as the roadmap for development.

    Since 2014, the University of Toronto Scarborough Library’s Digital Scholarship Unit (DSU) has been working on an Islandora-based solution for creating and stewarding oral histories (the Oral Histories solution pack). Although regular updates regarding the status of this work have been presented at Open Repositories conferences, this is the first article to describe the goals and features associated with this codebase, as well as the roadmap for development. An Islandora-based approach is appropriate for addressing the challenges of Oral History, an interdisciplinary methodology with complex notions of authorship and audience that both brings a corresponding complexity of use cases and roots Oral Histories projects in the ever-emergent technical and preservation challenges associated with multimedia and born digital assets. By leveraging Islandora, those embarking on Oral Histories projects benefit from existing community-supported code. By writing and maintaining the Oral Histories solution pack, the library seeks to build on common ground for those supporting Oral Histories projects and encourage a sustainable solution and feature set.
