Project Contracts

Each group will create contracts with me about their projects. The contracts are due Friday, February 16 (BY NOON), though each will need to be approved by me & may need to be tweaked before that happens. Each contract must include:

  • Mission statement (describe project)
    • Include audience and advertising and project/data sustainability models
  • Tools planning on using
    • Include suggested location for project URL (“slug”) on umwhistory.org (unless we have talked about another location for your project).
  • Schedule of milestones (when critical pieces are completed and/or ready to present)
  • Basic division of labor (including project roles)
  • Other items to include somewhere
    • Accessibility plans
    • Who will be responsible for summary/legacy page for the project and what to include. [To be shared here: https://historylegacy.umwhistory.org/ ]
    • Ways in which the group is considering using generative AI in an ethical way in some part of the project.

NOTE: These contracts may be revised as the semester goes on, though only with good reasons and only after a meeting with me.
