“…The Homer Multitext Project [34], the first of its kind in Homeric studies, seeks to present the textual transmission of the Iliad and Odyssey in a historical framework [19]. It is particularly relevant to the work described here because undergraduate student researchers at Furman, Holy Cross, and the University of Houston collaborate to analyze, document, transcribe, markup, explicate, and translate not only the Homeric text but also the extensive Greek annotations on each manuscript.…”

The surviving corpora of Greek and Latin are relatively compact but the shift from books and written objects to digitized texts has already challenged students of these languages to move away from books as organizing metaphors and to ask, instead, what do you do with a billion, or even a trillion, words? We need a new culture of intellectual production in which student researchers and citizen scholars play a central role. And we need as a consequence to reorganize the education that we provide in the humanities, stressing participatory learning, and supporting a virtuous cycle where students contribute data as they learn and learn in order to contribute knowledge. We report on five strategies that we have implemented to further this virtuous cycle: (1) reading environments by which learners can work with languages that they have not studied, (2) feedback for those who choose to internalize knowledge about a particular language, (3) methods whereby those with knowledge of different languages can collaborate to develop interpretations and to produce new annotations, (4) dynamic reading lists that allow learners to assess and to document what they have mastered, and ( 5) general e-portfolios in which learners can track what they have accomplished and document what they have contributed and learned to the public or to particular groups.

“…Such globalization is critical if we are to work with sources in multiple languages and to understand global cultural heritage as a network of cultures, each interacting with the other. The 2009 MLA "Enrollments in Languages other than English survey" cites 35,000 students of Modern Standard Arabic (p 19…”
