Best Education Interactive Application

In collaboration with the National Park Service (NPS), A&T created a series of four web-based multimedia programs for Shenandoah National Park, headquartered in Virginia. Interactive media such as this is one of the ways NPS advertises its parks and historical areas, with the goal of inspiring and attracting visitors by showcasing the beauty, history, and experiences the parks have to offer. Each of the interactive programs highlight a different aspect or era of Shenandoah, including the park’s creation, expansion, and important events in its history. In addition to being available at NPS.gov, the media is fitting for placement in park or city visitor centers and classroom lesson plans. The websites contain a variety of activities, which may include: Multimedia Videos, Timeline of Events, Interactive Maps, Multiple-Choice Quizzes, Matching Games, Historical Photos and Artifacts, Virtual Road Trip, Creative Writing Exercises, and Poster Design.
