Intro to Omeka – November 4 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Omeka is a free Content Management System (CMS) and a web publishing system built by and for scholars that is used by hundreds of archives, libraries, museums, individual researchers, and teachers to create searchable online databases and scholarly online interpretations of their digital collections. If you have a set of digital primary sources that you want to publish online in a scholarly way, you’ll want to consider Omeka. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to understand some of the conceptual challenges faced when developing digital archives and create an online database of digital archival items.

Avoiding Zoom Doom: Tools to Increase Online Student Engagement – November 6 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

Teaching online classes can feel daunting and complicated. Sometimes you are just lecturing to a screen of black boxes, and finding ways to keep students engaged requires fun and creative solutions. This workshop will explore various online tools that you can employ to capture students’ ideas, make class more exciting, and create a more collaborative online classroom. We will go over programs such as FigJam, Mentimeter, Padlet, and more! This workshop is great for students and faculty members who are teaching online for the first time, or for those who are looking to expand their teaching toolbox.

Intro to Mapping with QGIS – November 20 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with QGIS, a free and open-source platform. We’ll explore how to visualize, analyze, and interpret spatial data, allowing you to uncover patterns and relationships in your data. Whether you’re new to mapping or looking to enhance your skills, this session will provide you with the tools to get started on your own projects.
