Pompeii copyright 2006 J-PROGS
"This is yet another professional and high quality product from J-PROGS which will be of use to all sorts of age-groups pursuing a variety of courses. Pupils will be informed, educated and even entertained as they work their way through it."
Bob Bass, Journal of Classics Teaching, Autumn 2006
This
program is new in 2006, the product of many hours of research and
on-site visiting. The ancient town is showcased by a simple and clear
interface, providing easy access to all of its best known buildings.The Contexts section considers the development of the town, its eventual destruction by Vesuvius in AD 79 and its subsequent discovery by archaeologists. The Focal Points section looks at public areas including the forum, theatre district and the amphitheatre. The Buildings section looks at fountains, shops, streets, temples, tombs, walls, gates and the water supply. A section on Houses looks at eight of the better known houses in the town, and a final section on Art considers examples of mosaics, statues and wallpaintings. All parts of the program are illustrated by original photographs.
Interactive quizzes test student progress and users can choose how many questions they wish to attempt, from any of the sections they have studied. Student progress through the quizzes is logged and scores are recorded to a hard disc or to the network, where this option has been enabled. This program can be used to very good effect in combination with our new Pompeii Photo CD.
