I discovered this site via a post entitled: Text Mining for Historians: Natural Language Processing.
From the webpage:
Welcome to History SPOT. This is a subsite of the IHR [Institute of Historical Research] website dedicated to our online research training provision. On this page you will find the latest updates regarding our seminar podcasts, online training courses and History SPOT blog posts.
Currently offered online training courses (free registration required):
- Designing Databases for Historians
- Podcasting for Historians
- Sources for British History on the Internet
- Data Preservation
- Digital Tools
- InScribe Palaeography
Not to mention over 300 pod casts!
Two thoughts:
First, a good way to learn about the tools and expectations that historians have of their digital tools. That should help you prepare an answer to: “What do topic maps have to offer over X technology?”
Second, I rather like the site and its module orientation. A possible template for topic map training online?
