General Aims of the project:
- to integrate research-led teaching and interactive teaching and learning
- to use IT in the Humanities classroom and Humanities questions in the IT classroom
Specific Aims of the project:
- to create and pilot an interactive electronic visualisation tool to be used in 2008-9 delivery of research-led nineteenth-century French literature and culture teaching at final year UG level (Fren3024 'Flaubert's France')
- to build a tool with flexible adaptation to support nineteenth-century texts on a new second year module, Fren2017 ('Takes on Texts') and also where applicable to other UG courses in History, Archaeology and English
- to develop Web 2.0 technologies to allow students to explore the multiple perspectives, themes contexts and timelines within their core texts. Additional authoring tools will enable domain experts to create such visualisations encouraging continued use of these technologies
With support from the University of Southampton's 'Learning and Teaching Enhancement Fund'.
