Case Study: Co-Curricular Online Arts & Cultural Programs Study
In 2016, The Arts Council of Indianapolis sought a team to 1) research arts education delivery and communication systems; and, 2) identify national models and best practices to assist arts organizations in engaging with teachers and schools; provide information and resources to teachers seeking teaching artists and arts programming; and augment in-school learning opportunities through technology for pre- and post-field trip experiences. The three components of this study were 1) analysis and recommendations for a Web Portal; 2) exploration of best practices of Virtual Delivery methods (both content and technology) that assist educators to utilize field trip opportunities for students to extend learning; and, 3) evaluation of the readiness of local arts organizations to implement web-based program delivery.
Our team, Jason M. Kelly, Fiona P. McDonald, and Elizabeth Danter developed a mixed methods approach that included national and local field scans; a literature review; and surveys, interviews, and focus groups with national and local arts organizations and teachers.
