This is my first time planning a curriculum unit so I am most concerned about activity and assessment planning. Adrienne and I are designing am online and hybrid in-person visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for High School Art History/Course students. Throughout the 4 week curriculum, students will be able to “virtually” experience and be in front of real works of art. Each week, students will have approximately 10-minutes to look at an art piece via powerpoint followed by a 20-minutes video-conferencing Skype discussion about that particular work of art lead by the instructor/museum specialist/expert in the museum field. We are also considering to add other activities to make the unit more interactive and fun. The objective here is to provide many of the identical educational and cognitive gains that an actual-real life field trip can provide.
However, since this is not a traditional class setting, I don’t know if the time frame that we have predicted now is enough for the students to get the best learning experience. I am also concerned about how to measure the success of the curriculum and how to make sure students have learned what we want them to learn.
