Preparing for Spring 2010

Thanks to the students at UCL and Aarhus who made it possible to run this course for the first time. The pilot run of the module ended with students creating exciting and impressive academic hypertexts on a variety of subjects (e.g. genocide, sleep, vikings). Check the course website for links to the students' hypertexts.

We were happy so happy with the results that we (UCL, AU) will try to run it one more time in the Spring of 2010. We are presently negotiating with University of Lisbon to try and expand the transnational scope of the module to the south of Europe, thereby creating a course that connects students and teachers at three European locations. We hope we will be succesful in this and am presently undertaking great efforts to make this happen.

We have also created a new fairly static website for the course on the UCL site, with information about the coming version of the course, and with access to the evaluations and reports about the 2009 version. There is a link from the website to a lengthy report written by Dr. Federica Mazzara, which analyses the methodologies, outcomes and mode of delivery of the course in great detail.
