Teaching pre-modern history: e-learning challenges and opportunities
Friday 17th February 2012, 11am-4.30pm at Senate House, Room S261
Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU
What are the challenges posed by
teaching medieval and early modern history to undergraduate students?
Providing access to reliable sources and developing skills aimed at
approaching and analysing those sources critically are only some of the
difficulties that we encounter on a regular basis.
The use of technology can impact positively on these and other areas
of teaching and learning practice by increasing student preparation,
participation and reflection on their learning experience. It can also
provide a venue for the sharing of best practice between university
teachers.
This Higher Education Academy-supported workshop will go beyond a
general discussion on e-learning by exploring how a range of
technologies can help to meet the particular challenges of medieval and
early modern history teaching.
The workshop aims to promote collaboration, exchange of ideas and
constructive debate. All of the presenters will provide practical
evidence showing how students perceived, used and reacted to their use
of technology inside and outside of the classroom. All participants will
be asked to bring along an example of their own use of or engagement
with technology in teaching and learning, either as a student or a
teacher. Materials will be uploaded to our website (http://sites.google.com/site/teachingpremodernhistory/) to enable sharing of best practice and to create a record of the workshop.
