Abstract
This poster presents a pedagogical case study from RMCAD’s AH3000: Topics in Art History “Museum Studies” course, focusing on a final project where asynchronous students collaboratively developed digital tours for the Casa Grande Art Museum in Casa Grande, Arizona. This initiative directly addresses “Pedagogies of the Arts” by transforming students from passive learners into active participants and content creators. The project explores “Ways of Seeing, Learning, and Knowing” by centering community relevance, leverages “Online Cultures, Social Networks, and eLearning” for digital content delivery, and fosters “Sense-Making” by connecting art to everyday life in a local context. We detail the project’s design, highlight its impact on student learning and community engagement, and discuss how it navigates the “Living Tensions” of contemporary arts pedagogy.
