PACHYDERM
The Teaching & Learning Centre
is part of an elite team comprised of world-leading Museums and Universities,
embarking on the development of an easy to use authoring tool for the
presentation of visually rich media. The Pachyderm 2.0 Project is a partnership
led by the New Media Consortium (NMC) and the San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art (SFMOMA) and funded by the Institute for Museum and Library
Services (IMLS). Software development teams and digital library experts
from five NMC universities are working with five major museums to create
a new, open source authoring environment for creators of learning objects.
The new tool will be based on Pachyderm, the multimedia, online authoring
and publishing tool developed by SFMOMA to author its successful series,
Making Sense of Modern Art.
