Omeka Exhibit: Final Guide and Curation

Curatorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: This assignment highlights the intellectual and practical continuities between creation and curation, asking students to select and recontextualize a set of artifacts as an Omeka exhibit and also to think explicitly about the shaping of that exhibit as an argument with an audience and rhetoric of its own. This assignment comes out of a course on film, but all of its components would work equally well with any other kinds of artifacts or topic areas. As an added touch, students are asked to remix and recontextualize their own work, taking the best elements from previous assignments in the course and working them into a complete “visitor guide” to the exhibit
