In this presentation, the researchers will share experiences building the Digital Archival Advertisements Survey Process (DAASP) model. DAASP, which utilizes a series of interconnected surveys with Qualtrics, which is a collaborative active learning exercise designed to aid students in evaluating primary source documents of print-based advertisements.
