Puliima 2019 Indigenous Language & Technology Conference

Learn how to share your language and culture online using free and open source software. The Digital Language Shell was developed to enable Indigenous language authorities to share their language and culture online. It was first implemented for a course teaching Kunwinjku language and culture from West Arnhem Land NT, in collaboration with the Bininj Kunwok Language Project.

This hands-on workshop gives participants the opportunity to learn how to implement the Digital Language Shell for their own purposes. Participants need to be familiar with basic computer use, including uploading files, creating hyperlinks, basic word processing features.

Participants wanting to create their own course need to bring their own laptop. Courses created during the workshop are temporary only and will be deleted after the event. Participants should bring some digital resources such as texts, images, video and audio recordings to populate their course.
