Currently\, UCLA Library Special Collections is in the process of a multi-year effort to create digital records for its Islamic Manuscript holdings. At HumTech\, our team is engaged in a project to visualize the cataloged manuscripts through Tableau. The goal of this project is to represent a birds eye view of the Islamic manuscript holdings for interested researchers. Through representation of multiple data points that the library cataloging process captured from the manuscripts\, the visualization hopes to provide easy access to researchers for dissecting the data in multiple ways and helping them in drawing useful insights into the Islamic manuscript holdings at UCLA. In this presentation\, we will be discussing the challenges that we faced in data cleaning\, wrangling and visualization that are specific to manuscript collections\, especially one that is primarily in non-Latin script and spans to the pre-modern period. \nRegistration Required URL:https://staging.humtech.ucla.edu/event/uc-data-week-visualizing-islamic-manuscripts-data-at-ucla-library/ CATEGORIES:Beyond UCLA,Discussion,Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://staging.humtech.ucla.edu/app/uploads/2025/01/ldw-circuit-color_2022-scaled-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250213T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250213T155000 DTSTAMP:20260619T191137 CREATED:20250128T084349Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250128T084349Z UID:10000032-1739458800-1739461800@staging.humtech.ucla.edu SUMMARY:UC Data Week - Sharing and Locating Research Data in Humanities and Social Science Studies DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tianji Jiang (UCLA) \nSharing and reusing data can effectively reduce redundant efforts in data collection. It also enhances the efficiency of scientific research investments by preventing the reinvention of the wheel. Building a sustainable data-reuse process and culture requires frameworks that include policies\, standards\, roles\, and responsibilities\, all of which must address the diverse needs of data providers\, curators\, and (re)users alike. A critical step in the data sharing and (re)use cycle involves researchers depositing their research data into data-sharing infrastructures\, keeping their data in a sharable and usable form\, making other researchers aware of their data\, and identifying data that are (re)usable for their needs. In this session\, I aim to introduce some ideas and techniques for preparing research data for sharing. I will also introduce 2 to 3 data repositories ideal for researchers depositing their data and seeking (re)usable data for their studies. Additionally\, I will offer several tips and strategies for identifying and utilizing (re)usable data effectively. The session is structured to last approximately 50 minutes\, comprising a 40-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer segment. \nRegistration Required URL:https://staging.humtech.ucla.edu/event/uc-data-week-sharing-and-locating-research-data-in-humanities-and-social-science-studies/ CATEGORIES:Beyond UCLA,Discussion,Presentation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://staging.humtech.ucla.edu/app/uploads/2025/01/ldw-circuit-color_2022-scaled-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250205T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250205T150000 DTSTAMP:20260619T191137 CREATED:20250115T134439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250115T134439Z UID:10000029-1738749600-1738767600@staging.humtech.ucla.edu SUMMARY:2025 World Languages Day DESCRIPTION:World Languages Day\, a cherished UCLA tradition last held in 2018\, returns to spotlight the university’s diverse language programs. \nOpen to all UCLA students\, World Languages Day offers opportunities to explore UCLA’s language offerings\, engage with faculty and peers and learn about the academic and professional benefits of multilingualism. \nWhether you’re curious about studying a new language or deepening your existing knowledge\, World Languages Day invites you to discover the many ways languages shape our understanding of the world. \nJoin us on the Bruin Plaza on February 5 to enjoy interactive activities\, cultural experiences and opportunities to win special prizes!

When it comes to programming\, there is a lot of potential for supporting student learning-​- ​helping students understand why their code might be incorrect\, interpreting and providing documentation on lines of code\, and improving student code by making it more complex or more streamlined depending on the goal​ — just to name a few examples.​ ​L​ive virtual ​1:1 ​support​ via ChatGPT and other similar tools​ is ​now ​available 24-7 and ​accessible to all students\, regardless of their financial means​.​ In this modern age of AI\, how can we best leverage these new and emerging tools to support all students (in particular\, those who may need extra help)? How do we coach students on how to interact with AI responsibly and in a way that deepens their learning (and does not undermine it)? \nPresenters\nWilliam Stein\, CEO of SageMath and CoCalc.com will present on CoCalc’s AI tool and data collected on how students engage with that tool.  Sharmila Venugopal\, Assistant Adjunct Professor for Integrative Biology and Physiology will the Life Sciences Core will share her experiences piloting activities that ask students to engage with ChatGPT to compare and contrast their debugging skills with the AI generated responses. \nSession facilitated by:  Jess Gregg\, Senior Associate Director for the Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences (CEILS).
