January 21, 2:45 – 4:15 P.M.
Wilson Media Lab (220 Davis Family Library)
From non-linear storytelling to rich, scholarly annotations, this workshop will encourage new ways of thinking about writing in digital environments. Using a web application called Scalar, you will begin to craft a media-rich digital narrative. Scalar is a free, open source authoring and publishing platform that’s designed to make it easy for authors to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose them with their own writing in a variety of ways. No technical expertise required.
This workshop is currently full. Please contact Alicia Peaker for a schedule of upcoming workshops or to set up a consultation.
