The Learning Index; New e-learning resource puts images into context
Thousands of high quality visual arts images take centre stage in the Learning Index, a new richly illustrated e-learning resource from AHDS Visual Arts.
Using a range of visual arts topics, including fashion and textile design, product design, the crafts, print-making and social sculpture, the Learning Index provides self-contained learning and teaching packages, copy-right cleared and free for use in Education. Features of the Learning Index include: image galleries, glossaries, bibliographies, other image views and related images.
The content for these unique materials has been written by specially commissioned subject specialist authors and lecturers, often based on their own teaching experiences. Their work adds depth and dimension to the AHDS Visual Arts image catalogue by interpreting the collections from an expert's point of view.
Often, one of the primary barriers to the use of digital collections is the lack of time to engage with new resources on offer. The Learning Index offers ready made packages of information that demonstrate the relevance of AHDS Visual Arts image collections to teaching needs therefore saving valuable time and effort.
Learning Index materials are easy to use employing a traditional walk through approach to learning and a uniform design. This uniformity allows the resources to be re-usable and more adaptable to a variety of learning environments - an essential element in today's resource intensive market.
The Learning Index is available at www.visualarts.ahds.ac.uk/learning
