Experience with Using CLARIN Resources in Teaching
Students' Testimonials
“I think the Seminar/Workshop on the Elegies of Archilochus of Paro was useful and profitable from a double perspective. First, the project, especially the laboratories, allowed me to exploit and consolidate my knowledge of text coding (XML/TEI). Coding ancient texts is really very different from what I previously knew. Testing some specific aspects, I could understand the theory and the practice; only when faced with real textual problems, one is forced to search for possible solutions. Then, I think the project allowed me a deeper study of Archilochus’ texts, improving the approach to critical apparatus and notes. Finally, the plan of the meetings and the support of the tutors, Prof. Anika Nicolosi and Dr. Beatrice Nava let the easy involvement of all students.” (Filippo)
