Abstract

The project seeks to meet the learning design challenges that emerge from the complexities of delivering hands-on practice based archaeology units fully online and intends to: (1) apply a multi-media approach using video lectures, 3D digital artefacts and social networks (WordPress blog and Twitter); (2) create experiential learning activities designed for the digital user; (3) improve student engagement in the online environment and develop a student community of practice.

The results presented are from a 4 week Trial conducted in August 2015.
