Mash-Up Museum Archaeology (Kostas Arvanitis)
Dr Kostas Arvanitis (Centre for Museology) and Dr Siân Jones (Archaeology) have been awarded a Teaching Development Grant by the Higher Education Academy (Subject Centre for History, Classics and Archaeology) for a project titled 'Mash-up Archaeology: Aggregating Web Content on Museum Archaeology and Archaeological Heritage'. The project involves the development of a website that aggregates automatically web content relevant to postgraduate and undergraduate study of archaeology and museum studies. The project' s website will provide an active environment for teaching and learning, which will not merely be about providing content, but will also facilitate the development of students' skills in evaluation and critical thinking of online material on museum archaeology and archaeological heritage. This resource will be part of the curriculum development of the Museums and Archaeology course.
