Teaching & Learning

2 July 2012
The MoDiP website is developing all the time.  I have been recently concentrating on adding case studies to our Teaching & Learning pages.  For these projects we have worked with students at all stages of their AUCB life, from their very first assessed work to their Final Major Projects.


We have worked with Fine Art students in On Collecting, Defining Practices both projects offered an opportunity for them to respond to the collection or the notion of museums.

Direct Inspiration

We really enjoy seeing how the collection can help AUB students with their studies.  We also enjoy sharing it with AUB teaching staff and beyond in the hope that we can be a part of lots more exciting projects with both internal and external teaching staff.
