Dear colleagues,
As you may know, the Archaeology Data Service has recently been given a
small amount of funding to create web-based teaching materials. We are
currently working a tutorial pack that uses the contents of Internet
Archaeology to teach about synthetic publication and the impact of new
technologies on publishing in archaeology.
The tutorial is being sponsored for use by the UK higher and further
education community, so it is our aim to consult as widely as possible
among that community to make the tutorials as useful as possible. Thus,
I hope to contact a number of list members over the next few days to
solicit your thoughts about how best to proceed.
We all have enough to do already, so I won't send the questionnaire to
the whole list. Moreover, I am all too aware of the dangers of "survey
fatigue". However, if you are interested in taking part in this project
then please get in touch. It will require one short questionnaire now,
then a slightly longer review in a few months time.
The project is being developed as a partnership between ADS, Internet
Archaeology and the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information
Institute of the University of Glasgow. It is one of four tutorials
being developed. There is more about the project, including the first
taste of module one on monument inventories at

All best wishes,
William
