| Abstract | In an era of rapid digitisation, teachers are recommended to tailor learning experiences to the needs of individual students, to present students with materials more interactive in nature, and to continue to engage with current developments in the field. For such purposes, digital tools constitute an invaluable aid. This first session explores various new platforms that are currently under development for the teaching of Old English. These papers seek to rethink how we approach teaching Old English in the digital age, ranging from a new interface for A Thesaurus of Old English, to the developments of new platforms for teaching various aspects of Old English language and literature. |
