Professor James O'Donnell is most
often mentioned in connection with using the Web as a teaching resource. His
particular subject area is Late Antiquity. His enthusiasm for this means of
teaching and the format he employs could be applicable to a number of courses
- The Worlds of Late
Antiquity
This page contains links to most of Jim O'Donnell's course materials. There
are, however, a number of large graphics on this page- be warned! His
enthusiasm for the World Wide Web is outlined in his short essay,
New Tools for
Teaching
- Vergil's
"Aeneid"
Following in the virtual footsteps of Jim O'Donnell is Joseph Farrell (also at
University of Pennsylvania) who has put together on-line materials for a course
on Vergil's Aeneid (Fall 1995). Like the Augustine course participants
in the course range from students at Pennsylvania to interested students of all
ages and backgrounds on the Internet. Associated with this course is the
The Vergil
Project to assemble texts, commentaries and images relevant to Vergilian
studies.
- Ancient History at the
University of Oregon
Online courseware for Jon Nicols' Ancient History course includes an extensive
Historical and Cultural
Atlas, which contains excellent study resources, primarily a collection of
maps and images illustrating Greek and Roman history and interactive resources
(some require a Shockwave plug-in).
- The Perseus Project Home Page
The Perseus Project produces the Hypercard stack, Perseus and Perseus
2.0 which are widely used for undergraduate teaching in classics. The World
Wide Web site, an excellent resource, has a large corpus of translations of
classical texts which may be searched online or downloaded. Browsers may be
configured to display Greek which allows the searching and display of Greek
through the World Wide Web including a Greek-English lexicon. The other
substantial content provided by Perseus is an electronic library of art
objects, sites, and buildings, each of which has a description of the object
and its context, as well as images. The catalogs currently contain coins,
vases, sculptures, sites, and buildings.
- Women in Antiquity:
Greece
This is a site which is associated with a course taught by John Gibert at the
University of Colorado at Boulder. Included are the usual course overviews as
well as online access to required reading; however it also includes a selection
of PowerPoint presentations (with the opportunity to download a copy of the
PowerPoint viewer) which John Gibert used during the course.
- Exploring Ancient World
Cultures
This is an exhibition of WWW Sites pertaining to ancient world cultures with
Introductory Comments by Bill Hemminger (University of Evansville). This series
of pages is well laid out with each section comprising a mini-essay with
appropriate hypertext links. There are sections on the Near East, India, Egypt,
China, Greece, The Roman Empire, Early Islam, and Medieval Europe.
- Teaching Materials
for Latin
Claude Pavur (Saint Louis University) has constructed a useful site of
resources for the teaching of Latin. Substantial 'Introduction to Latin' and
'Acceleration Reader' materials are available for free educational use in HTML
and downloadable Portable document format (Pdf). A Pedagogica section offers
suggestions for aiding the acquisition and comprehension of latin.
- A whole range of resources for classics and archeaology has been compiled
by Sebastian Heath
at the University of Michigan.
