The role involves creating new activities, testing them for accuracy, and contributing to a comprehensive project database. The applicant will also have a unique opportunity to gain experience in digital classics, including pedagogy and user experience. The student may be involved in content-focused research, integrating cultural context, and exploring the use of AI in digital learning. |
| Suitable for: | Undergraduate or Honours student. Completion of 1st year Greek and Latin courses, or equivalents, is essential. Completion of 2nd year Greek or Latin, or equivalent, desirable. |
