Please check this page frequently for new content.
Introduction
After a three year hiatus, FPCC has been able to offer in-person Language Technology Program training for its FirstVoices and Digitization components.
This page houses the training syllabi, handouts, and links for pre-reading and additional review on training topics.
Training sessions are divided in general FirstVoices, specialized FirstVoices, Digitization, and shared topics.
Learn more about the differences between cohorts/workshop focuses below:
Session Key
Session Type/Topic | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
General FirstVoices | FV-Topics will include how to use FirstVoices site features, navigate the updated platform, and talks on workflows and planning for documentation and recording with speakers. |
|
FirstVoices Specialized Breakout | FV-Specialized Breakout is a smaller group setting for discussions and more intimate support to set up sites and have FV DEVs take a closer look at your work in a comfortable space. |
|
Digitization | DiGI-Topics will include conversion processes for analogue materials, archiving principles, storage methods, and how to manage resources long-term. |
|
Shared | All Groups/Shared Topics sessions will be for everyone to attend to discuss shared topics like roles in language projects, how to engage with technology and language, and other data maintenance issues. |
|
Resources on this page are divided by which day their topics are covered by FPCC staff and by which session/topics they best align in.
Some resources & pages might appear repeated times on this page.
