Ancient Cities in Cyberspace - Robert M. Royal, Academic Commons
The study of the ancient world and early Christianity has undergone a revolution in one generation. Scholars who grew up on the Loeb Classics and the Ante-Nicene Fathers now have the Perseus Project and can access the entire biblical and patristic corpus on-line. Digital images are the glosses of a new generation of scholastic commentators. This course was conceived as one way of highlighting these new technologies and social-historical methodologies. The traditional humanities seminar focuses on the "major research paper," which in the college setting is based on the scholarly article. What if we changed the model? After using digital images via PowerPoint in lectures and building course websites for my students, I started to think more about students creating rather than just using these resources. I focused on developing original student research while testing the uses of digital technologies in a travel course.
