| Grendel is designed to be an
interactive, multi-media web site to enhance and supplement traditional
instruction in the history, literature, and art of the Middle Ages in an
introductory humanities course at William Rainey Harper College. The
proposed project has three goals: (1) to increase students' exposure to
and understanding of the history, art, and literature of the Middle
Ages; (2) to use web-based, multi-media technology to extend the
conceptual and instructional scope of Internet technologies at Harper
College; and (3) to extend that scope by using the technology to help
students create individual heuristics for learning about the Middle
Ages. |
The target audiences for this project are students enrolled in
introductory humanities courses at Harper College and students enrolled
in any course with significant humanities content, in particular courses
that survey the history, culture, and literature of the Middle Ages. The
Grendel web site will contain the following pages: a home page; course
texts; an index of selected criticism and bibliography; a glossary of
terms; an index of the art and architecture of the period, with
examples; and pages on monasticism and philosophy, regional maps, and
timelines. We envision that students might use the Grendel web site to
engage in activities such as writing research essays, developing
multi-media and hypermedia presentations, building scholarly web sites,
and the like. |
