Odyssey Online: Developing a Curriculum Resource on the World Wide Web

Patricia Cain Rodewald, Michael C. Carlos Museum, USA and Lindsey Mosby, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA

Demonstrations
Saturday, April 25, 1998
10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Odyssey Online is a collaborative web site developed by the Michael C. Carlos Museum and the Memorial Art Gallery. The site uses objects from both museums' collections as a focus for object-centered learning on the web and is intended to serve as a curriculum resource for 6th-grade social studies students and teachers in New York, Georgia, and beyond. Odyssey features text and hypertext-linked still images; audio; interactive inquiry experiences such as games, puzzles, and quizzes; links to other web sites; bibliography and other educational resources for students; and resources for teachers.

In the demonstration we will discuss some of the challenges and our solutions concerning:

  • web sites as an opportunity for museum collaboration.
  • the architecture of the site and its user-interface design.
  • integrating a museum web site into the classroom.
  • evaluating the site.
  • maintaining the site.
  • future directions.
