Description
This roundtable session will introduce and discuss APRICOT (A Peer-Reviewed Interdisciplinary Collection of Objects for Teaching), a pedagogical hub for medieval and early modern studies, designed to benefit both students and instructors. It is intended an open-access site for developing, distributing and peer-reviewing interdisciplinary teaching objects, especially uses of digital technologies, tools, and methods. Alongside providing a hub for digital medieval and early modern teaching resources, an equally-powerful motivation is creating a systematic process for tracking and assessing teaching resources, providing participants with accessible metrics useful for job applications and tenure committees. A significant function of our site is tracking user-uploaded material, user reviews of this material and its adaptation by other practitioners.
