Ever have 294 sources open in 294 different tabs open while doing research on the web and accidentally close your browser, losing those tabs forever? It’s a pretty bad feeling. But with the Smithsonian Institution’s new Learning Lab, you can now access all of the Institution’s resources in one place, and easily share the files you create with your work. Dr. Chris Campbell, who helped create the Lab during her fellowship with the Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access (SCLDA) last year, designed the application to be easily customizable and engaging for both educators and students using the Learning Lab.
