"Extraordinary Teaching in Extraordinary Times"
Teaching archaeology remotely, challenges included replicating in-person, team/interactive experiences of the classroom while maintaining student engagement. I redesigned courses creating opportunities for remote student engagement, assessment, and collaboration.
In Greek Archaeology, material culture was brought to life virtually through increasing scales of activities; from identifying objects, to discovering object life-cycles, culminating with virtual exhibitions on themes relevant to past and contemporary worlds. In Indiana Jones and the Elgin Marbles (CL24), I replicated in-person experience by creating archaeology “kits” of contemporary objects that were mailed to each student so that they could participate in hands-on discovery, conservation, classification, and narrative construction.
