Clericus Data Visualisation
July 2019 - August 2019
Undertook 6 weeks work in the Digital Humanities Institute under Professor Thomas O’Connor. Here I analysed the data of over 9000 priests who were ordained in St Patricks University over the past 100 years. I constructed plots based on ordinations, grades, and demographics with the aim of spotting trends in the population over time. The tools I made are planned to be implemented in a web based application to track the history of priests in Ireland.

The project entailed designing an in browser piece of software to promote learning between groups of students through the use of collaborative annotation. The software is planned to go on trial in the coming years as part of a future project to test if collaborate annotation is more effective than traditional teaching methods.
