Museum Without Walls
The Museum Without Walls project is a distance learning program that combines computer applications with flexible, interdisciplinary curriculum modules. The first of its modules will be created around images from the African art collections of the East Carolina University School of Art (SOA). The immediate audience for the interdisciplinary program is formed by school districts in eastern North Carolina &151; a predominately rural, economically disadvantaged region.
Anticipated outcomes of the project are (1) increased academic achievement in the arts and sciences for learners and (2) expanded instructional and technology skills for in-service and preservice teachers. The final products of the Museum Without Walls will be a distance learning program on the World Wide Web and a high resolution CD. These products will be available to students, artists, and other interested viewers around the world.
