''HARVARD’S RESIDENT EGYPTOLOGIST, Peter Der Manuelian, wants students in his “Pyramid Schemes: The Archaeological History of Ancient Egypt” course (discussed in an article on innovative uses of digital technology in the humanities) to get a bit more creative than the standard five-paragraph essay. As a midterm project, each student creates an original video about a specific Egyptological problem. The projects, according to the course syllabus, are meant to “demonstrate scholarly content in visual form,” as well as “encourage the creative translation of that scholarly content into interactive multimedia presentations.”
