Omeka Toolkit: Slides from Omeka Workshops

This guide is a toolkit of resources about Omeka compiled for a series of workshops for Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and students, as well as our larger community.

Intro to slides

The co-creators of this LibGuide have offered and continue to offer various workshops on Omeka and tools that can integrate into Omeka. We have added slides from our workshops below. Several have variations, as we have made improvements to the slides, workshop process, or the tools have changed. Each slideshow is labeled with the semester it was offered, any notes about the updated version, and how to navigate the slides within the LibGuide. You can also view any slideshow in full screen mode by selecting the three dots underneath the show and choosing "full screen."
