Postgraduate StudiesE-Resources & E-Learning
What are E-Resources?E-Resources are teaching and learning resources available electronically, either through the World Wide Web or through the University residential network. These include academic books, academic journals, photos and videos relating to the ancient world, as well as course materials, such as PowerPoint presentations and audio-recordings of lectures. What is E-Learning?E-Learning is the evolution of traditional teaching and learning techniques in the technological age. The Department of Classics is committed to providing face-to-face teaching of high quality and a supportive and caring environment for all its students. At the same time, E-Learning provides opportunities for learning and interactive pursuits that enhance the students’ experience and provide them with valuable skills for the future. Why should you use E-Resources?Teaching and learning materials available electronically provide you with a more enhanced experience of university education. Books and journals are available 24 hours a day every day of the year for you to access from the library, from university accommodation or from home. Electronic materials provide you with the opportunity to learn interactively beyond the lectures and seminars. E-Resources Available to StudentsThere are several E-Resources that are available to Lampeter Classics students. Here is a list with links:
MoodleMoodle is the university’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). A VLE provides students and staff with an online space for course presentation, storing and presenting course materials, presenting and submitting assessed and unassessed coursework, as well as a space for discussion for all students taking a course and the staff responsible for it. From 2009-2010, all of our undergraduate teaching will become available through Moodle. In addition, all language courses, including their assessment, will be available through Moodle. The department is fully cognisant that this new platform for course presentation and assessment will come as a surprise to many students. However, the university has committed to a high-class and quality VLE experience for all students. Undergraduate students will find all the necessary course materials and assessment materials for the modules they are taking on Moodle from October 2009. Course materials include handouts, assignments, lecture and seminar reading and lecture podcasts. Students taking language courses will find all the necessary course materials and assessment materials on Moodle from October 2009. Course materials include grammar and literature handouts, exercises independent of the course book (for Beginners and Intermediate), as well as secondary reading for those courses using a set text. Assessment materials include mock timetests and examinations so that students can get used to the new assessment formats before they have to take an assessed test or examination. Further, Moodle will provide students a common online space to discuss the course and its content, ask questions of the module tutors and receive guidance on their work (assessed and unassessed). The department is committed to providing its students at all levels with excellent quality teaching and a great learning experience. Help for accessing and using the university VLE will be provided; for any questions or help, please contact your module tutor or the Moodle co-ordinator for the department (Dr Errietta Bissa).

The dictionary articles result from a critical inspection and interpretation of surviving material. They allow the user to follow the development of meaning and usage in each word. The Online Edition includes all the printed volumes of the TLL (A-P). At this stage, the TLL is available only to students in campus, but it will become available to students at a distance later this year.
