Course Websites and Additional Digital Content for Teaching
The Visual Resources Center provides support to faculty for posting websites of linked art images for weekly and exam study purposes through Glow.
Course websites may be created by providing links to custom image groups in the Williams VR Collection or by creation of a simple website that links to independent image files. Alternatively, students may also access shared folders via the ARTstor homepage. The ideal solution may differ for each course, depending upon which collection hosts the majority of course images and what presentation tools are used by the faculty member.
For additional information, contact the Visual Resources Center staff for assistance.
