Anderson INTRODUCTION The use of puters in historical research has followed divergent paths in 8 the UK and US.[1] The development of Webbased materials for teaching, however, may provide a mon ground for historians on both sides of the Atlantic.[2] This paper outlines one experience of developing multimedia materials for undergraduate history teaching in the UK by the History Courseware Consortium at the University of Glasgow. Established in 1993, the Consortium was funded through the Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP), an initiative of the UK Higher Education Funding Councils.[3] In developing the courseware the Consortium had the following goals: to create a pedagogical foundation based on high academic standards, to make the material accessible and flexible, and to provide the necessary support for staff and students using the courseware. DEVELOPING A PEDAGOGICAL MODEL Building on the experience of another program at the University of Glasgow— the Computers in Teaching Initiative Centre for History (CTICH), which gathered data about the use of puters in history teaching— we determined that many educators did not have a conceptual framework in which to incorporate puterbased materials into their teaching.[4] Similarly, students required a pedagogical context to guide them through the courseware. Thus the Consortium developed the idea of the enriched lecture, which uses innovative materials within a familiar pedagogical framework. [5] Since there are no core courses in undergraduate history programs in the UK, but rather ones ranging from the premodern to the modern period and from political and military to economic and social history, the Consortium aimed to produce a flexible set of core resources that could be incorporated into existing teaching programs. In the enriched lecture, core essays designed for first and secondyear students provide an overview of the topic and outline historiographical debates and thematic lines of enquiry. Students gain access to the core essays from a table of contents, which provides links to each section of the core essay, information on the author and additional sources, and access to the index, bibliographies, and glossaries. In the tutorial 9 on the Protestant Reformation, for example, Mark Greengrass and C. Scott Dixon wrote a core essay。 linked to it are a detailed case study and exercises. Some authors chose a more linear approach in their core essays。 others addressed multiple themes. Although the number and style of core essays varies between tutorials, their function, appearance, structure, and level remain consistent. In order to address the difficulty of reading the large amounts of text on screen, we asked authors to outline their essays clearly with headings, to address a limited number of themes with clear points, and to use short sentences, colloquialisms, and contractions, as in speech. The breaking down of each core essay into sections makes the material more digestible and allows students to dip in and out with greater ease. From the core essay students gain access to structured and contextualized source material: they can follow detailed examinations of particular examples, case studies, debates, concepts or sources. The schematic diagram below of the Protestant Reformation tutorial illustrates how the enriched lecture was translated into a structure for the courseware Figure 1.
