Rethinking timelines: a new methodology for describing and communicating history

该项目将通过让学习者积极参与构建时间线可视化来更好地理解上下文中的历史事件。它将有助于在网上社区资源中制定更好的协作内容创建和质量控制战略，并促进有关社区创建重要的在线协作数据库，而不需要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，促进澳大利亚博物馆和游客中心信息可视化的新方法，并为项目合作伙伴产生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.
