SUMMARY:DH COP *UoR only* - Virtual Ancient Rome
DESCRIPTION:Community of Practice\nPlease note\, this event is a meeting of the Digital Humanities Community of Practice\, which is open to University of Reading researchers only. If you are interested in any of the presentations\, please contact the speakers directly (details included below). \nThe COP is a space for colleagues with an interest in Digital Humanities to come together\, share ideas and expertise\, and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by digital research and engagement with Digital Humanities as a discipline. \nIt is open to all researchers\, staff\, and PGRs from any subject – we welcome interdisciplinary collaboration! \nWithin the COP\, you will be able to introduce yourself\, share your research\, and have access to information about funding opportunities\, support\, and events. Read more here. \n\nMeeting details\nThis term’s meeting of the Digital Humanities Community of Practice will be taking place online\, on Tuesday 31 May (11:30-13:00). \nThe meeting will include a presentation by Matthew Nicholls (Senior Tutor at St John’s College\, Oxford and Visiting Professor\, UoR Classics) on his 3D model of Ancient Rome. An abstract of the presentation is below. \nThe meeting will be taking place online in order to ensure ongoing accessibility for those especially vulnerable to Covid-19. From the autumn term\, we hope to hold a mixture of online and hybrid events so that colleagues can network in person. The invite for this meeting\, which you can add to your calendar\, will be posted in the Teams channel. \nYou are welcome to join the Community of Practice via our MS Teams channel.

This project grew initially out of research on ancient Roman buildings\, and developed as a teaching innovation. Its ongoing uses include a public-facing online course (MOOC) which has now been taken by over 62\,000 people and has generated significant revenue and course applications at Reading; there are also research uses and ‘impactful’ licensing to television documentaries\, software firms\, games studios\, and others. The model itself and a Part 3 module deriving from it won a Guardian/HEA teaching innovation award\, and were the basis of a successful application for a National Teaching Fellowship and two REF impact case studies. It was largely created in free or low-cost consumer software\, without specialist training. \nThis talk will look at the creation of the digital model: the software and processes used to create it\, the challenges and benefits of 3D visualisation of the ancient past\, and some of its uses and applications. \nReading materials\n\nVirtual Rome website\nBook chapter: Nicholls\, M.
