The Biblical Toolkit: Collecting Resources for Biblical, Classical, and Near Eastern Studies

The Biblical Toolkit: Collecting Resources for Biblical, Classical, and Near Eastern Studies
The Biblical Toolkit is a simple site for collecting useful digital resources relevant to Biblical and Jewish Studies, Ancient Near Eastern, and Eastern Mediterranean studies, all broadly speaking, aimed at most academic and research levels. It developed out of my own bookmarks, which I wanted to offload from my browser. Hence I do not really provide advice, review, or commentary, and try to just collate. I have put it on the web for use by others in the hopes that it might declutter digital lives and expand existing interests.

Online teaching help kit for Classics colleagues from the Department of Classical Studies at The Open University

Online teaching help kit for Classics colleagues from the Department of Classical Studies at The Open University
In the current health crisis, Classics colleagues all over the world are being asked to rapidly switch to online teaching. There is already a great deal of help out there, and we don’t want to replicate that, but the following is a list of resources that the Open University and FutureLearn has that might be useful to you. NB: some of the Classical material is pretty old – we’re hoping it still has paedagogical value nonetheless; this list was put together in a hurry so please excuse any formatting errors.
