Assignment

Acknowledgement: Parts of this assignment were inspired by CS 395 at ODU and CS 5014 at Virginia Tech.

Part 1 - Online Research Presence

Report: You will be creating multiple online accounts and webpages. Include links to all of these accounts and/or pages in your Markdown report. For your academic webpage, also include links to any webpages you used as inspiration.

For all of the accounts you create, fill out your bio and include an appropriate profile picture. If you already have an account made and are fine with it being your professional account, you do not need to create an additional one. Remember that all of these accounts are expressions of your professional online presence, so you should be comfortable sharing with a potential employer.

There should be some linkage from each of these accounts to the others. For example, if someone finds your Twitter account, they should be able to discover all of these other accounts. Often this can be done by linking to these accounts from your academic webpage and then including the URI of your webpage in the bio of the other accounts.

Twitter. Create a Twitter account. This account will be a "professional" identity, so feel free to create a new account if you want to partition your professional identity from an already existing recreational identity.

Google Scholar. Create an account on Google Scholar.

If you do not have any publications, you can create a "fake" publication to get you started and then manually delete it later. See https://libraries.ou.edu/content/create-google-scholar-profile for information on how to add and delete publications.

ORCID. Create an ORCID.

Slideshare. Create a SlideShare account.

LinkedIn. Create a LinkedIn account.

Academic Webpage. Create an academic webpage. You should include elements that we have discussed in class, including your email address and links to the other accounts you have created above. The goal of this webpage is to show off your role within the CS Department and the profession. There should be some effort to include (reasonable) use of color and visual elements. That is, your webpage should be visually appealing and professional. You may host this webpage wherever you wish, but https://cs.odu.edu/~CSusername/ should redirect to that webpage so that your page can easily be discovered.

Part 2 - Find Researchers Online

Twitter. Start following academic accounts. Begin by following your class colleagues (post your Twitter handle in Piazza as a note in the hw2 folder), @oducs, ODU CS faculty and labs (@weiglemc, @phonedude_mln, @openmaze, @fanchyna, @VikasGAshok1, @haoscs, @Faryane, @WebSciDL, @NirdsLab), and @AcademicsSay. Consider using "lists" to partition accounts thematically. Investigate others' following lists for recommendations on others to follow. Find additional researchers in your research area to follow. You should be following at least 40 accounts before the assignment deadline.

Google Scholar. Start by following ODU CS faculty (faculty list). Identify and follow additional scholars in your research area.

Report: For those researchers in your area who are outside of ODU, include their name and links to their academic webpage, Twitter, and Google Scholar (as available). You should identify at least 5 of these persons before the assignment deadline. I expect you to continue identifying and following researchers outside of ODU throughout the semester (and your academic career).

Part 3 - #cs800s21 #TIL

Using your Twitter account, before each Tuesday class quote tweet (retweet with comment) an interesting research or academic tool, data set, analysis, research result, commentary, etc. that you may discuss with the class for 2-3 minutes. (I will choose a few students each week.) When you "quote tweet", add a short, constructive commentary along with the hashtags "#cs800s21 #TIL"

Here are some good examples from last year:

We will repeat the "#cs800s21 #TIL" excercise at the start of every Tuesday class. The purpose is to engage you with current events.

Report: There is nothing to include in your report for this section, but be prepared to talk about your "#TIL" in class each Tuesday.
