Courses by New TIER-ED Faculty Highlight ‘Learning Spaces’ and Creating Engaging Technologies

Several projects are currently active where TIER-ED faculty and students are re-designing the ways that museums engage their visitors with digital content. These include collaborations with several prominent museums across the country.
