Workshop: Scalar for Multimedia Digital Projects

Digital Publishing Workshop Series

Scalar for Multimedia Digital Projects
Thursday, February 22nd, 4:10-5:30pm
D-Lab, 350 Barrows Hall

Developed by the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, Scalar is a web platform designed especially for multimedia digital projects and for multimedia academic texts. Like WordPress, it is easy to create content, but it is distinguished by multiple ways of navigating through a project, annotation and metadata features, and image and video options. Choose it to develop born digital projects and books, or as a companion site for traditional scholarship. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll learn how to create a Scalar project, create pages and media, add metadata and annotations, and define paths. Register at bit.ly/dp-berk

  • Copyright and Fair Use for Digital Projects
  • Omeka for Digital Collections and Exhibits
  • By Design: Graphics & Images Basics
