The Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle has been selected by the federal "Schulen
ans Netz" initiative and Apple Computer Germany to realise a unique
new media project together with a local highschool. For the first time
in Germany new methods of learning and teaching will lead to multimedia
content production and publishing on the net. On the occasion of the
Exhibition "Arktis
- Antarktis", groups of pupils, teachers and museums educators will
cooperate simultaneously in a special media room, the "polar lab", within
the exhibition and in the school via ISDN and video conferencing. The
usage of the exhibition libary, the objects in the exhibition, the research
tools on the internet and the user group at the school in combination
shall lead to new experiences in teaching and learning in museum and
gallery exhibitions. The results will be presented on the internet server
of the Kunsthalle and will be accessible to everybody.
