To date, learning center related programs have ranged from oral history collecting to a variety of Service Learning projects. Collaborative educational efforts between CII and local universities have provided more than 100 students with substantial off-campus, for-credit learning experiences. An ongoing educational project we call History Harvest involves actual and virtual collecting of historic photographs and artifacts. Notable among our current educational efforts is an on-line set of interactive learning opportunities aimed at general and targeted users developed with support from the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. Launching the VCI program is an on-line history which will focus on the Booker T. Washington years (1896-1934), during which the institute was supervised by the well-known educator from Tuskegee Institute.
