Omeka is open-source software that can be used to create an online repository for learning objects (LOR). It has two main components - a public portal to display content, and a back-end area to store and manage materials. Content is added by uploading files and providing descriptive metadata. Omeka supports various file formats, collections, user roles, searching and embedding content on other sites. It provides options for both public and private access to materials.
