MDL Newsletter - January 2022

MDL is continuing with the support of IMLS

We are pleased to announce that Museums for Digital Learning has entered into a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Museum and Library Services for another three years of funding. During the next three years, the MDL team will focus on increasing the number of our participating museums as well as our K/12 educator content users. We look forward to growing with you!

Museums for Digital Learning provides templates and support documentation to help you create resource kits and ebooks using new content or existing museum educational materials. Visit your museum dashboard in MDL to view the processes and tools to aid in your content creation. These include templates, documentation and instructional videos.

Specific example tools from The Field Museum and History Colorado are used to illustrate applicable uses during different stages of resource kit development. You are welcome to copy these documents and use them to initiate your own content development.
