The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture will offer another series of free online webinars this spring.

All webinars will feature our new interface, Scalar 2. Our “Introduction to Scalar” webinars will cover basic features of the platform: a review of existing Scalar books and a hands-on introduction to paths, tags, annotations and importing media. Our “Intermediate Scalar” webinars will delve into more advanced topics including the effective use of visualizations, annotating with media and a primer on customizing appearances in Scalar.

Our spring schedule will include four dates:

Introduction to Scalar: February 18, 10am-12pm (PST)
Intermediate Scalar: March 10, 10am-12pm (PST)
Introduction to Scalar: March 31, 4pm-6pm (PST)
Intermediate Scalar: April 21, 4pm-6pm (PST)

Scalar is a free, open source authoring and publishing platform that’s designed to make it easy for authors to write long-form, born-digital scholarship online. Scalar enables users to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose them with their own writing in a variety of ways, with minimal technical expertise required.
