Case Study: Atlantic County Institute of Technology creates interactive digital museum exhibits with ThingLink

Atlantic County Institute of Technology launches a 7-week interactive exhibit project with ThingLink

Atlantic County Institute of Technology (ACIT), a vocational-technical high school, sought to replace traditional end-of-year research papers with a more meaningful and engaging assessment for its students. English teacher Bayly DiPilato needed a solution that would maintain academic rigor while allowing students to develop practical digital skills and work within a complex, multi-stage project. The challenge was to find an intuitive yet powerful platform to support the creation of interactive digital exhibits.

Using ThingLink, students created interactive digital museum exhibits as a capstone project, weaving together historical research, literary analysis, and multimedia skills. The solution involved a scaffolded seven-week workflow incorporating Canva and other tools, with ThingLink at its core for assembly. The project was a significant success, with students reporting a strong sense of accomplishment and pride in their work. ThingLink enabled the development of highly transferable skills in research, communication, and multimedia integration within a single, coherent project.
