Classroom Projects

Classroom projects, as the name implies, are projects that are created as part of a class here at Villanova University. Working with faculty, Digital Library staff bring the experience of sharing cultural heritage materials through a digital platform into a classroom. Library staff provide training, consultation, and digital space, while the students and faculty have complete responsibility for the content and intellectual property rights. Students are assigned content areas to curate and their pages are graded as part of their coursework. These pages may contain links to content outside of villanova.edu -- this external content may change or break over time. Links to external content do not imply endorsement by Villanova University.
