    Hi, Ann. Thank you! I think the menu issue was possibly because you need to log in to see all members’ features to the menus. If not, let me know.

    I’m sure Resources is the link most people want to click on […]

    It took me a while to find Resources because, the way the home page was positioned, when I clicked on Courses only the first three options appeared. I had to scroll down and try again, but I really didn’t think […]

    That’s great, Julie, thanks!

    How is the new format less obvious, do you think? I suppose the old menu had a specific Groups link, whereas on the new menu it’s under News. The Activity Feed comes up just the […]

    I also really like the potential to discuss/ask questions. The new format mey be less obvious or accessible, but it may be just a matter of time in getting used to it.
    Hugely valuable either for moaning or […]

    It varies a lot, and you may be the victim of asking about a topic which not so many people teach. Hopefully this will at least highlight the possibilities and opportunities that the groups and […]

    Macte virtute!

    I did wonder why absolutely nobody has replied to the discussion groups I set up. I know that ‘Delian League to Athenian Empire’ is the least popular OCR AS option, but one or two replies would […]

    I think that there is often a time issue, people logging on to look for something specific rather than having the time to browse. I think they are a useful addition to the site though and it is good to have a […]

      If you go to the title ’COURSES’ just below the Classics Library logo, there’s a drop-down menu which includes ’Resources’ — found it by accident!

      Hi Charlie – I will probably teach this next year, for the first time. An obvious danger would be spending too much time on 500-479 BC! The sources list seems very worthy, but I will try to incorporate as much as possible from the other side – there are inscriptions and the like which fill in a little knowledge about the Persian Empire from the…[Read more]

    I have a colleague, who will be teaching the AQA ’Augustus and the Foundation of the Principate ’ module, which we have not yet taught. Can I ask if anyone would share a Scheme of Work, which they have used, that we could use as a starting point? I would really appreciate it – thanks! Email me at: [email protected]

      I need to update the instructions, but if you want a post within a group to get emailed out/hit the greatest number of members, add a new Forum Post, rather than just an update. Feel free to copy this request as a Forum Post (go to the Group and click on Forum, etc)! I hope you find what you need! S

    Hi has anyone had any experience with the Nimrod festivals and tours company? We would like to take a combined Classics and religious Studies trip taking in Rome and the bay of Naples. They are the only company I know of that does these combined trips. Any feedback from your own experiences? Or alternative companies to recommend?

      I have used european study tours and NST do them as well.
      I took a quite successful trip to Rome earlier in March. There were some itenerary issues they could have improved to make our lives easier but there are others out there.
      let me know if you need any more info.

    Hi everyone!
    I’m trying to access the KS2/3 Latin resources page – it was working yesterday, but I’ve noticed the site has been updated today and I’m getting a 404 error message when I click on it, is this happening for everyone or just me?
