PRISM: A New Web-Based Resource is launched
Added on 10 Jul 2007
PRISM: an interdisciplinary learning website for the performing and creative arts has been launched by PALATINE (the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Dance, Drama and Music). The website URL is htpp://www.prism.palatine.ac.uk.
PRISM allows lecturers and students in the subject areas of dance, music, theatre, architecture & design, art and film to view and assemble collections of exemplar works from some of the influential art movements of the ‘modern’ period in Europe and the United States. Works, productions and artefacts are grouped by movement (or ‘ism’).
Exemplars are contributed by subject specialists. Each is accompanied by a rationale that includes examples of how the work might be used in learning and teaching across the creative and performing arts.
An important part of the PRISM website is the collections area, where it is possible for users to assemble and save thumbnail images of and links to the works along with their own teaching materials. These combinations can be shared with user-selected groups or published as part of PRISM.
PRISM welcomes new suggestions for exemplar works at any time. To suggest a resource, please go to the ‘contribute’ area of the website: http://www.prism.palatine.ac.uk/resources/suggest_work.
The PRISM project was developed as part of the JISC/Higher Education Academy Distributed e-Learning programme, which focuses on the cultural issues and subject differences surrounding embedding e-learning technologies.
The PRISM team welcomes your feedback and are particularly interested in hearing about examples of how the site is being used by staff and students.
