Scalar is a web publishing tool that allows users to publish digital books. The relatively new tool was being introduced to the Middlebury College community by Alicia Peaker last year (2015) and as part of that introduction Alicia asked me to create a Scalar documentation website. The documentation basically covers the ins and outs of Scalar and how it might be of use to the faculty, staff and students here at Middlebury College. It features direct links to the Scalar website and access to their more extensive documentation. This website was created using the Middlebury Mediawiki. Having never created a website before, this was a great learning opportunity on what tools could be used to develop one. The other important thing that I learnt was the importance of the potential site users in the process of designing it. Project duration was 4 weeks.
