Today's Featured Project
A resource for scholars and others interested in media literacy. The materials were originally developed by graduate students enrolled in a course taught by Professor Renee Hobbs at Temple University's School of Communication and Theater, and has been further developed by succeeding versions of the same course. The course looks at media literacy in a wide context, and is of relevance to secondary education, tertiary education, research and education outside the formal sector.

The Creation of Adam
The Creation of Adam, by Michelangelo, to be found in the Sistine Chapel. In general, paintings prior to the 20th century are in the public domain due to expiration of copyright, which means you can use images of them freely in educational materials. For works of art created in the 20th century, normally you cannot reuse any copies. Click on the image for a full size version which you can freely re-use and modify. Print it and use it for your lessons, integrate it into your pages on Wikiversity, or use it in other learning resources and websites. Use the links below to find more images like this one.
