Bringing Cultural Heritage to Campus through Innovative Technical Platforms and Physical Spaces

Abstract

Track: Innovative Technologies and Learning Spaces

This presentation introduces a collaboration between the College of Education, Digital Education and Learning Technology Applications department (DELTA), and the University Libraries at NC State. Initiated by faculty to convey the story of segregation-era Rosenwald Schools for students and the university community, DELTA sponsored an internal grant to develop a Matterport-based virtual tour of a local Rosenwald School with embedded interviews and documents (go.ncsu.edu/russell.school). Drawing on 360 images and video from this initial project, the University Libraries sponsored two related physical exhibits in their Cyma Rubin Visualization Gallery supporting 360 immersion with music and sound effects and in their iPearl Innovation Studio supporting user browsing through documentary material. Our presentation will feature examples of the three exhibits illustrating their unique affordances as well as the Google Slides templates provided by DELTA and university libraries to help faculty and students develop exhibits.
