SPOTLIGHT ON TEACHING WITH MUSEUM COLLECTIONS
Investigations into the Ancient Mediterranean
Between 2010 and 2012, the Hood Museum of
Art took part in an innovative pilot program that
enabled the Yale University Art Gallery to lend
forty-seven ancient Mediterranean objects to the Hood for
a two-year period beginning in December 2010. Initiated
by Yale and funded by a generous grant from the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation, this collection-sharing project is
intended to foster intra- and inter-institutional collaboration
and expand opportunities for Dartmouth faculty
from all disciplines to teach from works of art. Central
to the initiative is a program of strategic loans from
Yale’s encyclopedic collection, comprising nearly 200,000
works, to six “partner museums” for use in specially
developed projects and related coursework. The program
was created based on the belief that while technologies
have increased access to museum collections, there is
no substitute for the experience of learning from original
works of art.
Dartmouth faculty and students from a range of disciplines,
including art history, classics, religion, and history,
made use of both the Yale loans and works from the Hood
collection to explore how the close observation of works
of art can reveal connections to wider cultural, religious,
political, and social themes. This film documents the
teaching and research that came out of this project and
serves as a resource for students, teachers, and museum
professionals interested in the ancient Mediterranean.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
