Creating Digital Exhibits and Digital Publications Using Omeka and Scalar

Omeka and Scalar are both popular, open-source, flexible, and easy-to-use platforms. Omeka contains a variety of tools for populating curated collections of text, images, audio, and video. Similarly, Scalar supports adding detailed metadata and annotations to images, audio, and video, as well as working with timelines, maps, and visualizations. Both can be used in creating digital exhibitions or publications.

In this workshop, you’ll examine the similarities, the differences, and the types of projects that these systems support. We’ll explore ideas for using these platforms for individual or collaborative course assignments, research, and digital scholarship.

Participants will receive a voucher for lunch through Campus Dining.

A $100 stipend is available to eligible participants who complete the program. Registration is required.
