Collaborative Research with the DIA

Description: Students in this HistoryLab developed content for the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) Diego Rivera “Detroit Industry Murals” digital teaching project. They worked collaboratively with peers in small research teams, guided by the instructors in conjunction with input from DIA staff. Working in teams, students collaborated on all tasks, from drafting an initial proposal, identifying primary sources, and writing document descriptions to presenting the collection to the museum stakeholders.
