Online workshops

We regularly offer 5-day online workshops led by expert instructors. These cover working with the Image and Presentation APIs and annotating images using a combination of asynchronous learning, Zoom meetings, 1-on-1 help sessions, and a dedicated Slack channel that remains active following the course. Participants will create a small IIIF project by the end of the course.

Self-directed learning

You can use our workshop training site to learn how to work with the Image and Presentation APIs and annotate images on your own, following the same materials used by workshop participants.

To learn how to use existing IIIF materials for research or teaching, visit our explainer on using IIIF resources and viewers.

Teach others about IIIF

If you are already familiar with IIIF and want to help others learn, you can use our outreach materials to get started on presentations and information sharing. (If you find yourself doing this often, consider joining our Ambassador program!)
