Impact

Professor Jennifer WayArt History & Art EducationUniversity of North Texas

“Omeka-based exhibitions provided a welcome alternative to writing papers …

…creating these online exhibitions challenged students to pursue image-centered research, something that proved new to many of them.

At the same time, students learned to develop narratives that situated their images in relevant historical, social and cultural contexts.”
