Reading Ancient Texts Today: Papyri, Narrative and the Articulation of Past and Present
This project aims to improve student engagement with the content of Classics and Ancient History programmes by making the JRULM collection of papyri and early manuscripts more accessible to undergradtuate students and using enquiry-based educational theories. A range of resources (including online digitised texts) will be developed to provide jumping off points for student exploration of texts in translation and the original Greek. A framework will be developed for students to explore their own learning experiences through group discussion of Greek myth. This will invole EBL study groups and a student-directed WebCT project.

Critical Project Development Skills in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine
The Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM) provides service teaching to several hundred students from disciplinary backgrounds across the humanities and the social, physical and life sciences. By adopting an EBL approach to the delivery of its modules, the centre hopes to equip the students with the necessary skills essential for historical project work as well as other transferable skills such as independent learning and critical thinking.

Engaging with Early Christian Communities: An Enquiry-Based Learning approach
Development and evaluation of two different models for introducing EBL to ‘The Rise of Christianity’ course unit. Model 1 is a series of ‘Contentions’, bibliographically supported packages of primary and secondary source material that students can use to understand and contribute to ‘classic’ debates. Model 2 is that of source analysis, a presentation (oral and web-posted) of analytical description of primary source material. The project will develop templates for each model that can be cascaded to other disciplines and will contribute to the on-going development of strategies for supporting independent research by students in the History of Christianity area.
