Introduction to Omeka: Uses, Capabilities and Limitations

1. What is Omeka?
2. Sample projects
3. Comparisons with other CMS
4. Plug-ins, extensions and the Omeka community

Getting Started with Omeka

1. Installation and hosting
2. The Omeka.net alternative
3. Working with the Admin dashboard
4. Managing plug-ins and themes
5. Organizing a project-space

If there’s time and interest, we can also talk a bit about customizing themes for non-coders.

This is a tentative outline only, of course!

In preparation for the BootCamp session, we suggest that everyone register for a basic account on Omeka.net to play with during the session.
