a conference on the
discipline-specific technologies reshaping
the practice of teaching art and art history -- October 7th,
2005
|
This year's
conference focuses on the ways that digital image libraries and newly developed
digital tools are reshaping the practice of teaching art and art history.
Recent
developments in social software make it possible to reclaim the valuable and
serendipitous interactions of the slide library within the digital image
repository. Such tools allow students and faculty to link images to each other and integrate
them into blogs and Eportfolios. Students can link text to sections of an image
using newly developed image annotation software,
encouraging close visual analysis and interaction. Integrating such tools into digital
image libraries creates a far more powerful environment for socially constructed
learning and research.
Small Tools/Big Ideas: Integrating Technologies for
Teaching Art and Art History will explore important new
ideas and tools that will redefine teaching in the coming decade.
