ASOR ONLINE RESOURCES
Over the past couple of weeks, the ASOR staff has begun assembling a collection of online resources and teaching materials to aid our members and friends who have switched to online teaching. ASOR’s portal of online resources is a work in progress and we are extremely grateful to all of you who have already contributed! Some of the materials available include a guide to the online features of ASOR’s journals, guidelines for using Zoom, links to syllabi and lesson plans, and online image resources. ASOR’s Early Career Scholars have also been active in helping people switch to online. Last Thursday, they hosted an online meeting entitled “Online Teaching: From Triage to Best Practice.”
Please continue to share online resources, websites, teaching aids, guidelines, or advice that you feel could be useful. We recognize that many have been forced into a position of teaching online, and ASOR wants to provide a portal where we can share ideas and help each other. Please email Marta Ostovich at programs@asor.org with any resources you would like to share with your colleagues. We also welcome your suggestions and offers to volunteer in helping us set up these resources.
Stay tuned as our online resources continue to expand!
Much of the content for these online resources came from H. Dixon, “What’s Already Out There? Online Resources for Teaching Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Cognate Fields,” Creative Pedagogies for Teaching the Ancient Near East and Egypt session (M. Ameri and H. Dixon, chairs), 2019 ASOR Annual Meeting, San Diego.”
