Dear Essex Society for Archaeology and History,
I am writing to let you know about one of our upcoming online
courses at the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education.
I hope the information
below is of interest, and would be very grateful if you could possibly
circulate it to any of your members who might be interested.
This online course will
introduce a multidisciplinary approach to archaeological landscapes and
different ways sites can be studied using available online resources. You will
learn to assess information from different sources, search archaeological
databases and create your own maps using Google Earth and other tools.
The course will begin
with an introduction to the archaeology of prehistoric and historic landscapes
by outlining their development worldwide and summarising different approaches
and methods used in their study.
Students will be
introduced to the multidisciplinary approach underpinning interpretations and
understanding of landscape archaeology.
Archaeological sites
will be used as a case study to present an aspect in the study of landscapes
and draw together different online resources. The case studies will be drawn
from different parts of the world, and from different periods. Each teaching
week will introduce students to, and give them practical experience in, skills
in mapping, interpretation and research.
Students will learn step
by step how to find reliable information, how to use different online resources
and search for archaeological and historical information on the history of
man-made landscapes.
Each course lasts seven
weeks, including an introductory week, five weeks of
active participation guided by your tutor Dr Ulla Rajala, and one week of feedback.
Enjoy an engaging,
collaborative environment with small class sizes
drawn from an international audience, and lively online debates.
Carry on learning after
your course has finished. All students have
access to an online resource area and subject-specific discussion forums for
two academic years after completing their study.
Gain a Certificate of
Participation. Students who contribute
constructively to weekly discussions and exercises/assignments will receive a
Certificate.
