This workshop will serve as an introduction to SCALAR, a free, open source authoring and publishing platform designed for scholars writing media-rich, long-form, born-digital scholarship. SCALAR allows scholars to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose that media with their own writing in a variety of ways; to annotate video, audio, images, source code and text using the platform’s built-in media annotation tools; and to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing, including nested, recursive, and non-linear formats.
