The online platform encourages a social and personalized learning experience, with the ability to select concepts, research artists and ‘Like’ or ‘Comment’ on other students’ posts. Photo by North Carolina Museum of Art.

Pairs of classes meet in person for the first time during an ice breaker at the NCMA. Students would then break into small groups and curate a virtual exhibition on social media. Photo by North Carolina Museum of Art

Most classes used Instagram to curate works of art and post selfies in the museum. The Flipped Museum moves away from a one-size-fits-all museum experience and gives students choice over their visit. Photo by fhs_ahs_fieldtrip Instagram account.

Students learn about American art, history, and identity. The course culminates in the students curating their own exhibition in an online three-dimensional rendering of one of Crystal Bridges galleries. Photo by Crystal Bridges Museum of Art.
