The Coronavirus Pandemic as an Opportunity for Pedagogical Innovation. Research of Didactic Resources of Art Museums and Galleries

Our paper deals with online educational resources created by art museums and galleries of the Czech Republic in the time of the coronavirus pandemic. This paper is a partial outcome of a research project currently conducted by the authors at the Palacky University Olomouc in the Czech Republic. The primary focus of the research is to analyse online accessible digital educa-tional resources of educational departments of art museums and galleries, the ways of their presentation to the public, and the way they can be used by art educators for distance teaching of art education not only in the time of coronavirus. As part of our research, we will create a set of case studies, on the basis of which a typology of online educational resources will be formulated. This paper presents the up-to-date results of the research as well as analyses and gives examples of three categories of online educational resources, namely motivational chal-lenges, educational tutorials, and interactive websites.
