New Approaches to e-learning in Classics

I am currently seeking submissions for a possible panel for the 2013 Classical Association conference on ‘New Approaches to e-learning in Classics’. I hope to include papers covering aspects of e-learning in Latin, Greek, Classical Civilisation and Ancient History from throughout the educational sector (primary, secondary and higher). It is a fantastic opportunity to discuss innovative approaches to e-learning – or problems you have encountered in doing so!

I understand that we would need to submit the abstracts of the proposed papers by 31st August. If you are interested in presenting a paper for this panel, please message or tweet me.

Further details of the 2013 Classical Association conference can be found here.

  1. I would be interested in this possibility though I am knee deep in an MA dissertation at the moment and might find it difficult to do an abstract by the end of August. I am starting a PhD in Technology-assisted learning for Ancient Languages in September so would hope to have something to say by the Conference in March ... let's keep in touch anyway and see how it goes ....

    1. Hi Mair,

      It would be good to have you on board for the panel. Unfortunately, I would need an abstract by mid-August. Does this sound possible?

  2. I'm currently developing an e-learning site for Latin. It's roughly 75% complete and I have started to use it with students in my school this year. I hope to finish work this summer. The site is www.cybercaesar.com. If you wish to explore the site, message me on twitter and I'll provide you with the details. Certainly, if I do manage to get the site up and running, I would love to participate in your panel.

    1. Hi Alan,

      This sounds a fantastic idea. I've messaged you my email address via Twitter. I would need your abstract by mid August as I have to submit them all together. Does this sound ok?

  3. I only just saw this posting today, but Dr. Brian K. Harvey at Kent State University has developed some really phenomenal classes that integrate online markets to simulate the Roman economy in different situations, for instance one class was based on Roman Decadence another on Roman and Greek sport. Students developed their characters throughout the class and worked to make money to spend on purchases like books, silver dinner ware, mosaics, horses, various beasts, slaves, properties in other regions of the Roman Empire, etc.
