  1. Drawing on and using the MoEML Map (developing spatial awareness of early modern London)
  2. Researching and writing an article on a London placename or topic and publishing it in the MoEML Encyclopedia (developing research and collaboration skills)
  3. Contributing a text or dramatic extract to the MoEML Library by either using our Dramatic Extract Spreadsheet Tool or using TEI-XML and encoding it yourself (developing editorial, collaboration and/or XML encoding skills)
The workshop was attended by team members from the various First Folio tour teams from across the US. (Learn more about the tour and the teams here and here.) One of the participants, Sujata Iyengar, shared one of her assignments with the other participants. She has written a blog post about her experience (including students’ submissions) and shared her assignment with MoEML.
