This project developed a tool that enables the Fellows to choose digital images from a database along with accompanying didactic information and to design web-based study documents to complement an art history curriculum. The end result was a mechanism allowing all Art Department professors (and, possibly in time, other members of the University community) to search a database of images, and to craft web-pages for curriculum support which can be precisely tailored to class discussions.
