Zoom will allow eight active participants (i.e. people who may wish come online to translate a particular section of text) and an unlimited number of auditors, who will be able to submit questions and comments using the messaging function. The sessions will also be archived on YouTube. We will provide a webpage for interested participants to sign up for particular sections of the text; such participants will then be invited to translate and to raise questions or comment as seems appropriate. The instructors and other active participants will offer assistance and comments as necessary, just as in an ordinary class with participants sitting around a table. 

 

Sessions will begin on Sunday, June 5, at 2PM Eastern time.  General information about the course and subsequent online "discussions"  can be accessed by joining the Google Plus "Community" entitled "Medieval Latin (Summer 2016): St. Patrick: Muirchu, Vita S. Patricii and Patrick's "Confessio."  (https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/106839324668039713380).   The Google Plus page has a link to a webpage for the course, where you can find the texts and sign-up sheet for joining one of the weekly sessions as active participant (or go straight to https://sites.google.com/a/swarthmore.edu?tab=m3)

 

Active participants will need a webcam and to install Zoom (which is free and easy to install); observers will find the link posted on the Google Plus page shortly before the session begins.
