Project Development

IT Support Services are happy to advise you on any computing aspects of project development, including the technical aspects of your grant applications. If you think your project will require significant technological input we can also advise on how to bid for staff time in order to ensure we're able to dedicate sufficient resources to its development and support.

Subject to resources we're also able to take on smaller-scale projects such as the development of websites for individual Tripos, MPhil or Certificate papers or modules. Please make an appointment to discuss any such projects with us.

Current Projects

 

Multikultura

MultiKultura offers free online resources for Modern Foreign Language learning. Created in collaboration with secondary school teachers and pupils, it aims to motivate learners of Modern Languages, with the hope that they will aspire to further their study of languages. MultiKultura has created a knowledge bank of culturally-based, themed modules in three different languages under six subject headings: Art and Culture, Literature, Geography and Society, Science and Technology, History, Sport and Leisure.

 

Tripos/Mphil paper and Certificate Websites

IT Support Services are able to work with you to develop online resources for your Tripos, MPhil or Certificate papers or modules. The most mature project to date is the website for the Faculty's Certificate in Humanities Computing (CHUCOL). If you'd like to discuss how we might be able to help you develop online teaching resources for your course please contact us to setup a preliminary meeting.

Certificate in Humanities Computing for Languages (CHUCOL)

Together with Geoffrey Kantaris, Mel co-directs CHUCOL and teaches the modules relating to Digital Humanities and Web technologies. Adam teaches Building Content I the module that relates to working with digital imagery. CHUCOL is, as far as we know, unique in UK Higher Education as it provides students with the opportunity to gain a recognised University Certificate in Digital Humanities whilst continuing to study or work within the Faculty. If you'd like to learn more about computers, how they impact on academia and society as a whole, how they can support your work or how to create your own online content, then consider signing up for the course.

Naturalism in Literature and Film

 

Naturalism in Literature and Film is a website dedicated to supporting the MPhil of the same name in the University's MPhil in Screen Media and Cultures. The site is a virtual space dedicated to the investigation of Naturalism in literature and film, and to an assessment of the reasons for Naturalism's enduring existence as a moral, political, and aesthetic impulse.

Faculty Flickr Group Image Archive

The Faculty Flickr Group image archive was setup by Mel Leggatt and Adam J. Merton to provide a store of images related either to the Faculty or the languages taught by the departments based within the RFB.
