Exploring Omeka
The document discusses exploring the use of Omeka software as a learning object repository for LOR. It provides an overview of Omeka, including that it is open source and can be hosted on their servers. It outlines user roles in Omeka and highlights of its functionalities, including uploading, describing, and searching learning objects. File formats that could be supported are listed. Plugins that may be useful are identified. A demo of Omeka is planned to discuss organization, customizing the upload form, file limits and other topics.
