Digital Humanities in the Classroom: Multimedia Publishing Scalar

Scalar is a free multimedia publishing website that allows authors to create and share digital scholarship online. Scalar makes it easy to integrate text and media, and it includes easy to use features such as visualizations, mapping, and timelines. Scalar is a suitable platform for group projects for online classes as well as a good entry tool for digital humanities work. This workshop provides an overview of Scalar’s functions and uses as a potential tool for collaborative classroom projects. Participants will work on a Scalar project together or create their own proof of concept by the end of the workshop.

This workshop is intended for those who interact professionally (e.g., course instructor, advisor, student affairs staff member) with ISU’s students on a regular basis as part of their role on campus. That said, any employee interested in this topic is invited to register. Registration is required.

Eligible participants will receive a $100 stipend for successfully completing this course.  

This workshop falls under the AAC&U High-Impact Educational Practice of Collaborative Assignments and Projects.
