Omeka is an open source web-publishing platform used by many libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural organizations for creating online exhibits of materials from their collections. This course provides the opportunity to explore the exhibit-building process and gain hands-on experience in creating a professional-level exhibit on a topic of your choice. It is designed to be used with the freely available “Trial” version of Omeka.net, but students may use whatever version of Omeka they have access to. We will be focusing on the exhibit-building process, using Omeka as a tool; this course does not cover higher level coding or customization features of Omeka. No prior experience with exhibit building or web-based publishing is required.
