SO, YOU TEACH MEDIEVAL ART HISTORY

SO, YOU TEACH MEDIEVAL ART HISTORY?: INCORPORATING NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND
MULTI-MEDIAS INTO UNDERGRADUATE ART HISTORY CLASSROOMS AND BEYOND

The Student Committee of the International Center for Medieval Art aims to
give a voice to all students interested in medieval art and architectural
history. For our session at the Leeds 2010 International Medieval Congress
we invite papers that address incorporating new technologies and multi-media
into undergraduate art history classrooms and beyond. We seek presenters who
explore, for example: the technological resources available to students and
teachers; the transition from previous technologies (microfilm, slides,
etc.) to digital formats (Powerpoint, MDID, etc.); the benefits and perhaps
limitations of new media in the classroom; and the ways new technologies
impact both the study and the teaching of art and architecture. We also
welcome participants who consider issues interdisciplinary in nature, such
as: the incorporation of technologies from other disciplines in art history
classes; and the extent to which new technologies associated with art
history
may be applied in the classrooms of related disciplines. To apply, please
submit a brief CV and an abstract of no more than 300 words to Melanie
Hackney (melaniehackney@gmail.com) by September 27th.
