3D scanning in Learning and Experience in Museums (MUSM498)
This semester, students in the the Arts, Cultural Management and Museum Studies course MUSM 487/887 “Museums, Arts, and Culture in the Digital Future” will be learning about creating museum learning objects by 3D scanning and 3D printing and other digital use. Denice Blair, Director Education at the MSU Museum, and Amanda Tickner, GIS LIbrarian at the MSU Libraries, were awarded a Catalyst Information Grant through the Center for Teaching and Learning to work with professor Max Evjen in incorporating the experience into the course. It will involve one class in which students will scan a museum object, and then edit the resulting digital file to make it ready for 3D printing and other uses. As a result of this project, this course now satisfies the requirement for being an approved course for the DH minor and DH Graduate Certificate.
