“…Second, service-learning has contributed new archival materials (Ching, 2018), completed digital archival projects (Long, 2011), and conducted research in archives for public presentation (Erekson, 2011; Vetter, 2014). Museums, which can provide a wealth of experiential education opportunities (Dorfsman & Horenczyk, 2018), also perform archival functions and can constitute meaningful community partners for art history courses (Cempellin, 2012; Shifrin, 2011).…”

Background: In a digital age, service-learning partner organizations can expand beyond geographical locations accessible to the students. Particularly within fields digitizing archival sources, including art history, many learning outcomes achieved in traditional on-site service-learning programs can also result from remote access to staff and materials at non-local partner organizations. Purpose: This study analyzed the impact of a remote service-learning project between an upper division contemporary art history course at a regional university in Ohio and the Archives of American Art in Washington, D.C. Methodology/Approach: Over 3 consecutive years, the students used digitized visual and audio archival materials to edit transcripts of oral histories for web publication. At the conclusion of the project, the students conducted focus group interviews to analyze their perceptions of learning outcomes. Findings/Conclusions: Qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts yielded four primary themes in the data: disciplinary understanding, transferrable skill development, critical decision making, and emotional knowledge. Implications: Remote service-learning can facilitate many of the same learning outcomes as on-site experiences.

“…Libraries simultaneously act as places of education and research, as well as archives, museums, and galleries. They are themselves partly institutions of cultural heritage and have roles to play in collecting, preserving, and passing on historic and cultural heritage materials to our future generations (Ching, 2018). Fieldwork studies provide students with an opportunity to become very much a part of this process, fulfilling the responsibility held by libraries to provide such opportunities for students.…”

“…To some, the library's platform may seem to be merely a collection of resources; but a library can offer much more. Ching (2018) writes: "Libraries are like archives, museums, and galleries in that they too are partly institutions of cultural heritage and have their responsibilities to collect, preserve, and pass on historic and cultural heritage materials to our future generations". It was through these fieldwork studies that new media technology was able to present the heritage site's information, not able to be displayed from previous (old media) methods.…”

Architectural landmarks that represent a culture’s identity are also sanctuaries for cultural heritage preservation. The tallest and oldest wooden multi-story structure in the world, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of China is tilting at an ongoing rate that requires an urgency to find solutions to revert the damage. To preserve the evolving humanistic and artistic understandings of ancient Chinese architecture, and to cultivate the scientific reasoning behind ancient Chinese carpentry, new media allows digital and computational methods to replace human users who once manually analyzed data and information from cultural sites and artifacts. This article will exemplify new media tools such as animation via 3D/2D modeling, 3D scanning and virtual reality photography to examine material evidence of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda of China, and the role new media can assist in its fight to sustain its originality since 1056.Highlights:<ul><li>Examination, documentation, research and education of architectural heritage sites using new media methods.</li><li>Integration of old archives and digital/computational software to represent the outstanding value of the oldest and tallest wooden skyscraper in the world.</li><li>Use of 2D/3D modelling and virtual reality photography developing information to increase awareness on cultural heritage sites suffering wood deterioration.</li></ul>

“…It focuses on how people learn and process information, taking into consideration people's awareness of how they learn." 12 Metacognition or self-reflection is a critical step for information evaluation. It leads us to reflect our observations, interpretations, assumptions, conclusions, beliefs, and actions in the information assessment process.…”
