Tech Talk: Building Digital Exhibits for the Classroom In-Person
Seeking alternative models for research essays? Looking for ways to engage your students with public audiences?
With Omeka, you can create beautiful online exhibits of your art, videos, documents, or other collections. Omeka, sometimes referred to as "WordPress for museums," is a free, flexible, and open source web-publishing platform for the display of library, museum, archives, and scholarly collections and exhibitions. It was created at the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University and is one of the most widely implemented digital humanities tools. This workshop will introduce you to the basics of planning a digital exhibit and get you started with your own Omeka.net digital exhibit.
Please note location change -- this tech talk will be held in Dalton 20. There are computers there you can use for the hands-on portion of the workshop, or feel free to bring a laptop.
