The Piero Project/
ECIT - Electronic Compendium of Images and Text

This project addresses the problem of bringing electronic technology into the teaching of humanities subjects in a manner that we believe will challenge traditional methods of pedagogy and benefit the learning process in a fundamental way. The technology is a newly created electronic teaching tool called *E.C.I.T* (Electronic Compendium of Images and Text), which brings together facts, conceptual materials, visual images, and three-dimensional models in a fully searchable electronic compendium. Originally developed in a workstation only environment, ECIT is now available on the World Wide Web! Try it Yourself!
