Used by anthropology classes at the University of Colorado, the CerenWeb Resource incorporated an array of web multimedia technology to link visual images with original excavation text, notes and discoveries. The Ceren web resource lead the way in exploring the use of hypermedia tools in education. Our aim was to go beyond a tour of ancient buildings and enable students to begin to think and act like anthropologists. Using the Ceren site, students could participate in the excavation process as on location anthropologists, putting together the puzzling pieces of what ancient household life in Meso-America was truly like.
The
Ceren web resource was a multimedia learning tool incorporating
visual 3 dimensional graphics, interactive movies, a searchable on-line
database and a large selection of learning games, applets, and interactive
movies. Built using Java, QTVR, VRML, Director, Lingo, QuickTime, 3D Studio
Max, and FormZ, the site was used at the University of Colorado.
The Ceren web site was designed by Jenniffer S. Lewin, Mark E. Ehrhardt,
and Mark D. Gross at the Sundance Laboratory for Design in Computing, 1997.
