Hi all,

Sydney Shep and Thomas Koentges at Wai-te-ata Press, Victoria University of Wellington have proposed a new massive open online course (MOOC) that will teach you:
  • how to reconstruct ancient texts,
  • how to describe and date a manuscript,
  • how to recognise and differentiate different hands and styles,
  • and how to read those hands
Ten MOOC Production Fellowships are on offer and public demand is one criterion for the jury decision.

If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in a 15-week open online course on Deciphering Ancient Texts in the Digital Age we encourage you to VOTE and spread the word!


Best wishes,
Donelle

Dear Digital Humanists,

I would encourage you to vote on this initiative. MOOCs are a fantastic opportunity for the DH and this looks like a solid proposal.

Kind regards,

Craig
