Abstract

Students learn about antiquity by using the Ancient Spaces application to build 3D virtual models based on architectural plans and the latest archaeological reports. Ancient Spaces involves undergraduates directly in the kinds of research required to reconstruct sites. It also encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration and communication with cultures beyond the university.
ELI's Innovations & Implementations series highlights innovative teaching, learning, and technology practices in higher education. Each Innovations & Implementations piece provides a practical overview of an innovation, focusing on its significance and implementation issues. Use Innovations & Implementations to explore innovative practices that might be of value to your institution.
