Please join us tomorrow, Friday, April 25, 1:00 in Memorial Library Commons (4th floor) for a workshop covering the collaborative development and features/use of the WordCAKE tool (link for download will be distributed to participants). WordCAKE offers an interactive 3D experience for exploring how word frequencies change over sequential texts.
We encourage participants to bring laptops and try out the tool following the introductory presentation.
