This checklist covers every step taken during the implementation of the “An Introduction to Digital Humanities (NEAR E 296 B / 596 B: Special Studies In Near Eastern Languages And Civilization)” course that was offered in the Winter of 2016. There was discussion concerning how this implementation should occur for future quarters. It was decided that instead of copying the previous quarters web site that it would be more advantageous to install an up to date empty Omeka implementation, then transfer the previous quarter’s content by hand. Even though this method is more time consuming, it is believed that this hands on experience can act as a kind of refresher course for using the Omeka interface.
