Students in Tyler Assistant Professor Joseph Kopta's art history class on the art of the Byzantine Empire have launched a virtual exhibition, Fragments of Byzantium. The collaborative project features works of art from the Eastern Roman Empire (ca. 300—1453 CE), which students studied in person at local collections in Philadelphia and New York. The class collaboratively chose the objects for the exhibition, individually researched them, grouped them together into galleries, and designed the virtual exhibition. Contributors include Miranda Aebersold-Burke, Ethan Bisselberg, Jay DaCruz, Virginia Edwards, Casper McNew, Maggie Miller, Evan Morgans, Winton Petty, Teni Real, and Jericho Steele.

Tyler's commitment to his students and his dedication to the study of art history is summed up in his teaching statement: "By bringing passion and enthusiasm every day to my classroom, and by being genuinely invested in my students’ education and their unique interests, I lead by example and show my students the excitement and the value that art history provides in offering new or different perspectives with which to view and experience the world."
