It is designed to facilitate the expanded integration of Mesoamerican cultural heritage materials – new discoveries and the latest research interpreting the same -- into curricular units or lesson plans that will appeal to a variety of learners and bring greater multicultural depth and understanding into the classroom. The institute, sponsored in part by the University of Oregon's Wired Humanities Project<b> </b>(WHP), will also have an emphasis on multimedia. WHP hosts a number of electronic resources for students and scholars of Mesoamerica, including the Virtual Mesoamerican Archive, the online Nahuatl Vocabulary, and, coming soon, the Mapas Project, which is a digital collection of pictorial Mesoamerican manuscripts.</font></div></font></p></div></div></body></html>
