Website Walkthrough

The purpose of the website walkthrough is to give volunteers a sense of how the Ukrainian Folklore Audio Project will work for you. How do you check out audio? How you submit transcriptions or translations? Can you download the audio and work for your desktop? Questions that volunteers have will be answered to facilitate accessibility of the website. Multimedia crowdsourcing sites can be complicated, but we made a conscious effort to keep it simple.

Ukrainian Folklore Audio Project

To access the website you can surf to the webpage by typing in "Ukrainian Folklore Audio Project" in your preferred search engine or have entered the URL that Dr. Natalie Kononenko provided in the initial contact email. Once opening the site you can choose to explore the public space or login. The Public space provides web surfers to discover the project on their own, the "About," "Home," and "Contact Us" pages familiarize and temp those that may have cultural ties or interesting in Ukraine heritage. There is access to the audio clips for public listeners, but they cannot check out the clips unless they receive permission from Dr. Kononenko.

Main Page Login
  • A Graduate student types "Ukrainian Folklore Audio Project" into their preferred search engine.
  • Selecting the Ukrainian Folklore Audio Project result will bring you to our webpage.
  • By scanning, skimming, or reading the information written by Dr. Kononenko one the "About," "Home," and "Contact Us" pages, you learn about the project and can decide if you are interested in participating in the project.
  • The user decides that they are interested in the project and fills out the form and sends it to Natalie Kononenko for confirmation.

This is one example of how people may volunteer, below is another.

  • Volunteers are also contacted through posters, listservs, online, or in person (i.e. meetings).
  • A volunteer who contacted Dr. Kononenko through SEELANGS, a Slavic and East European languages and literature list, enters the URl of the website, and precedes to login.

Login:

  • The login area is on the main page of the website on the right side of the page.
  • The volunteer types the username provided by Dr. Natalie Kononenko in the top box, beside “Username.”
  • They then type in the password provided by Dr. Kononenko in the bottom box, beside “Password.”
  • Click enter, and you will be logged in. The screen displays the original home page, but in the navigation bar above there are a few more options, such as your "My Clip" page.

How to Navigate the Audio Clip Page:
