AMICO is committed to making museum multimedia available
at all education levels. In order to probe the ways in which school teachers,
staff and students might use The AMICO Library, and to uncover weaknesses
in content presentation, depth, or coverage we
are collaborating with primary and secondary schools in an AMICO School
Testbed Project.
During
this Project we seek to:
- Document the current technology infrastructure in the K-12 public
and private sample schools
- Identify barriers and conduits to using the AMICO Library including:
- Access
- Time
- Library Functions
- Teacher Fluency
- Student Interest
- Ancillary Tools
- Create curricular models that may be applied to a variety of subjects
and teaching units at the K-12 level
- Facilitate discussion and sharing amongst participants
- Promote the understanding of use of copyrighted materials in the digital
world
- Provide access to other education resources created by AMICO Members
- Enable participant recommendations for useful educational resources
from many online sources
- Equip this early adopter group to be digital resource masters for
the next generation of K-12 users

University Testbed
During the 1998-1999 Academic Year AMICO held an
AMICO University Testbed.
The lessons learned were invaluable in shaping the first edition of
The AMICO Library.
