E-Workshop:
Getting Started with Oral History
Our E-Workshop will introduce you to oral history and walk you through planning and executing a project. Before you complete the workshop you will have experienced writing a project plan and conducting a one-on-one oral history interview. Topics covered in the workshop include project planning, ethical and legal considerations, recording equipment, interviewing techniques, and processing and preserving oral history. Your instructors are faculty and staff members of Baylor University Institute for Oral History, with an accumulated record of almost fifty years of experience with oral history interviewing, training, and administration. Meet the Faculty.
The six-hour workshop is in two sessions, each presented on a weekday morning, with a week between sessions. We allow ample time for questions and comments at the end of each session and make ourselves available as consultants for the duration of your oral history project. Sample forms and documents related to oral history, as well as readings and additional resources will be made available to workshop participants through Baylor's online file sharing system, BearSpace.
With a computer and an Internet connection and using your computer's audio capabilities and a microphone, you can join the class, hearing the lectures, asking questions, and sharing in the discussion. Through the interface of Elluminate Live! participants will be able to talk and listen over the Internet, chat online, and share multimedia files and applications.

Designed to get you started with oral history, the E-Workshop requires some preparatory reading on your part, an assignment between classes, and a practical follow-up exercise. All readings and resources will be provided to registrants by a BearSpace link for about two months, before, during, and following the workshop. Participants will receive a certificate upon completing 1) both sessions of the live workshop; 2) the assigned project design; 3) the assigned practice interview; and 4) the course evaluation form. Baylor University is a Texas Education Agency certified provider of Continuing Professional Education, and participating K-12 teachers in Texas are eligible for ten CPE credits for completion of the course.
