After checking out Omeka,(omeka.org/), which will be the tool used to build my teams online exhibit, I noticed that it offers many different plugins that will help enhance our exhibit and make it more interesting for visitors to explore. My team and I are doing an exhibit on architecture in the Charlotte area, more specifically focusing on different examples of architecture that one would be surprised to find in a North Carolina city. This is especially true because Charlotte loves to tear down the old and build new. (no offense)
But back to the point, while exploring Omeka I noticed it has a plugin that will fit right in to our exhibit which is Geolocation. This plugin will allow my team and I to map out the different locations of buildings throughout the city, allowing people to easily find and see where the buildings are located. This tool will be vital to the appearance and useability of our exhibit. Hopefully, we will be able to use this plugin so people can explore our online exhibit at their leisure and virtually travel to these unique locations.
I saw this plugin, too. And I also thought it would be a great addition to a website! I believe, though, that this is only available if you get one of the better packages. Just an FYI! :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully not because I think this will be great for our project.
