Gloria Mugelli, Giulia Re, Andrea Taddei & Federico Boschetti describe the Ephoria EDU system, a resource for digital annotation of ancient texts developed by the Lab. of Anthropology of Ancient Greece (LAMA), the CoPhiLab at the ILC-CNR in Pisa and the Venice Digital and Public Humanities Department. The system allows to structure textual information by connecting keywords and creating networks of concepts such as ritual actions in Greek Tragedy. It is applicable to all kinds of linguistic or cultural observations, allowing a wide range of collaboration between teachers and students from high school to university.

Dorthe Hutz-Nierhoff and Antje-Sophie Menschner present ‘Success Factors for Teaching Museum Studies in the Digital Age: Insights into museOn | weiterbildung & netzwerk`. By demonstrating the key factors of the blended learning program museOn, the authors suggest that these factors be transferred to the basic teaching of Classics. While there may be obstacles such as the unfamiliarity of teaching staff with digital methods and traditional forms of examination, the digital format presents many benefits for a shift from teaching to learning and for fostering highly relevant skills such as digital interaction and collaborative working.

Fernando Lozano Gómez, Alfonso Álvarez-Ossorio Rivas, Víctor Sánchez Domínguez
Fernando Lozano Gómez, Alfonso Álvarez-Ossorio Rivas, and Victor Sánchez Domínguez assess the conclusions of several successive research projects on teaching innovation funded by the University of Seville. Members of the Department of Ancient History developed these projects that are indebted to game based learning. The main goal was to present History in all its complexity, without simple explanations, and to improve the student’s general knowledge of the subject by promoting autonomous learning. The paper presents the new teaching materials created by the members of the project. These include an open access handbook with specific teaching tools, instructions for autonomous learning through historical role-play, and the use of timeline playing cards in the university classroom for learning History.

In the 21st century, Classical Archaeology is making more and more use of digital tools and methods. This tendency towards a future field of “Digital Classics” requires participation not only as users, but also as developers. For this reason, the required qualification profile for a student of Classical Archaeology is changing and academic teaching at universities is confronted with new challenges. Our presentation tackles this issue by suggesting a new teaching concept that focuses especially on the pivotal skills that are needed to use and develop digital methods within an interdisciplinary team. It is based on the didactic model of a simulation game. This simulation is attached to a (real) interdisciplinary research project. In this way it offers the possibility of a structured process model and challenges the participants’ skills of interaction and complex decision-making. The result is a realistic environment whose demands, means and conditions of action support the assessment and evaluation of academic expectations in multidisciplinary professional situations

In her contribution ‘Classical Studies for the new millennium: traditional material through new methods and perspectives’, Eleni Bozia presents a variety of digital teaching examples that also address contemporary problems, such as identity politics from antiquity to contemporary time, the symbiotic relationship between humanities and technology, and the significance of language learning. Students are taught to work on ancient representations of ethnicity, race, and citizenship and their modern equivalents, engage with the significance of technology for the humanities and vice versa, and appreciate the politics of language in all disciplines and areas of research, by engaging in digital storytelling, using digital resources in sociolinguistic analysis of ancient and modern texts, and pursuing interdisciplinary projects.

The paper presents the international, multilingual teaching project 'Ancient Cities'. The contributors explain the production of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) 'Discovering Greek & Roman Cities', its structure and learning material (such as videos, introductory texts, and quizzes), the participants’ varied demographics and their feedback. Furthermore, they show how the course’s materials were successfully implemented in academic teaching at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and at the University of Pennsylvania.

The project therefore represents an ideal combination of content and method: its primary learning aims are increased student facility with tabular data, data visualization, ancient Mediterranean geography and travel, and late Republican Roman history.

Konstantin Schulz shows various applications of natural language processing (NLP) to the field of Classics, especially to Latin texts. He addresses different levels of linguistic analysis while also highlighting educational benefits and important theoretical pitfalls, especially in vocabulary learning. NLP can solve some problems reasonably well, like tailoring exercises to the learners' current state of knowledge. However, some tasks still prove to be too difficult for machines at the moment, e.g. reliable and highly accurate parsing of syntax for historical languages.
