Rethinking timelines: a new methodology for describing and communicating history

该项目将通过学习者积极参与时间轴可视化的构建，更好地理解历史事件。它将有助于制定更好的战略，以协作创建网上社区资源的内容和进行质量控制，并促进有关社区创建重要的在线协作数据库，而无需一次性编程的技术要求和费用。它将为MacquarieNet等澳大利亚在线资源增加价值，为澳大利亚博物馆和游客中心的信息可视化新方法做出贡献，并为项目合作伙伴提供国内和国际咨询服务。

The project will lead to better ways of understanding historical events in context through active engagement of learners in the construction of timeline visualisations. It will contribute to the development of better strategies for collaborative content creation and quality control in web-based community resources, and facilitate creation of significant online collaborative databases by communities of interest, without the technical requirements and costs of one-off programming. It will add value to Australian online resources such as MacquarieNet, contribute to new methods of information visualisation in Australian museums and visitor centres, and generate national and international consultancies for the project partners.
