WORKSHOP 1
CTI CENTRE FOR HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY AND ART HISTORY
Enhancing Teaching and Learning with Computers (history,
archaeology and art history)
4 May 1995, University of Glasgow
This workshop is intended to inform lecturers about the ways they can use
computers to enhance teaching and learning in history, archaeology and art
history. Computers may be integrated into subject courses in several ways,
including by teaching students methods for analysing primary source materials
and by presenting students with introductions to topics and their
interpretation. Those attending the workshop will be able to try out software
for themselves, and to discuss approaches to using computers.
The workshop will be taught by members of the Centre's staff, each of whom has
research and teaching expertise in history, archaeology or art history,
and is a specialist in the application of computers to these subjects.
Outline Programme
A hands-on session providing an opportunity to evaluate software developed by
the TLTP History or Archaeology Consortia, on topics ranging from excavation to
the French Revolution.
Demonstration of a recent CD-ROM publication such as "Who Built America?"
A brief hands-on introduction to information handling and analysis using a
database package
_Or_
an opportunity to try other software in the Centre's library, on topics such as
the First Crusade, the origins of the Second World War, US state politics,
demography, and 17th-century France).
Discussion of approaches to introducing computers to teaching.
The workshop will run from 11am to 5pm and will be held in the DISH Historical
Computing Laboratory of IBM-compatible computers.
Fee: 20 pounds (includes lunch).

WORKSHOP 2
CTI CENTRE FOR HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY AND ART HISTORY
An Introduction to Image Processing
9 May 1995, University of Oxford
This one-day workshop is intended as a basic introduction to the issues
surrounding image processing for those thinking of embarking on an imaging
project, or wishing to incorporate digitized images in their teaching. The
opening talk will be given by Peter Robinson, general editor on the Canterbury
Tales project, and author of a report on digitising primary sources. He will
also lead the hands-on session. Trish Cashen, of CTICH, will give the second
talk.
Outline Programme
The opening session will set image processing projects in context, considering
issues such as factors influencing the choice of platforms, formats, hardware
and software, and standards.
The second talk of the morning will focus on re-using existing digitized
images: how to locate sources, how to use such images in teaching projects, and
the advantages and problems associated with this approach.
In the afternoon participants will be able to work with digitized images in a
practical hands-on session, followed by an informal discussion. Images will be
manipulated in a variety of ways. Scanners will be available and participants
are invited to bring along up to two images for scanning: photographs,
drawings, prints etc. (not transparencies).
The workshop will run from 10.30 to 4.30.
The fee of 35 pounds includes teas, coffees and lunch.
Participants will receive a complimentary copy of Peter Robinson's
"Digitization of Primary Textual Sources".
