ABSTRACT

One of the first educational hypermedia projects ever produced in the field of archaeology was the Excavations at Isthmia multimedia program.1 Tim Gregory and I collaborated on this project in the early 1990s. Of course, at that time, multimedia was nothing new; however, its implementation in educational technology products was still to be understood, and we were at the forefront of that endeavor-at least as far as the field of archaeology was concerned. We also had great interest in learning where such new technologies could take us in regard to teaching and learning about archaeology. Not long afterward, the advent of the World Wide Web led us in new directions, and by 1993 we had established one of the first websites for an archaeological excavation. These initial forays into educational technology taught us a considerable amount about learning with technology-particularly concerning the visual presentation of material-but many of the more interesting opportunities for applying technology to the field have arisen in the last decade or so.
