		'''365 urban landscapes'''
		[http://www.le-notre.org LE:NOTRE] '''Mundus Seminar'''

		October 2008 - January 2009

		== Background ==

		The LE:NOTRE Mundus project aims to develop teaching resources and teaching activities on urban and cultural landscapes with a global scope in the context of landscape architecture education. This seminar is an accompanying measure to this overall objective. Its emphasis is on urban landscapes.

		== Objectives of this Seminar ==
		[[Image:Topicmap_urbanlandscapes.jpeg\|thumb\|crop=right10%;left15%;top5%;bottom20%\|Urban landscapes topic map]]

		We will look at different elements of the urban landscape and analyse them in interculturally composed student groups. All seminar participants will use the [[LE:NOTRE Mundus Case Study Template]] as a common ground. Students will be grouped according to the typological similarity of the projects/case studies they wish to contribute. In the course of the seminar, the groups will go through a collaboration process that builds on the following phases:

		Case study -
		*identification
		*description and detailing
		*analysis
		*comparison
		*synthesis
		*presentation


		'''* [[Course Schedule\|Detailed Structure and Draft Schedule]]'''

		== Learning Objectives ==

		Students shall widen their understanding of urban typologies and cultural influences affecting their shape. They will deepen analytical skills and train intercultural communication in mixed working groups. Interactive and collaborative
		internet technologies will be used for communication and presentation.

		== Contents ==

		The seminar will be internet-based with self-study phases, group meetings and plenary sessions in the LE:NOTRE [[Virtual Team Room]]. Mixed student groups will be formed at the beginning, each will be dealing with one urban landscape typology and elaborate a comparative analysis in the course of the seminar.
		Plenary sessions will be used for group presentations, feedback and integration of external lecturers. A symposium together with the authors of the fall edition of the Journal for Landscape Architecture ([http://www.info-jola.de JoLA])takes place on the 12th of November 2008.

		The students' results will presented on the LE:NOTRE website and thus become visible for a wider audience. Support will be provided in the form of moderation, use of technologies and group supervision.
		In the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) the seminar has a scope of 2 credits. One credit equals 25 student working hours (including both contact times and self-study).

		'''* [[Course Schedule\|Detailed Structure and Draft Schedule]]'''

		== Target Group ==

		Advanced landscape architecture students (third year bachelor or Master‘s level) of LE:NOTRE/ LE:NOTRE Mundus member universities. The course language is English. A good level of independence and willingness
		to work in a group and to use the internet for communication is expected.

		== How to take part? ==

		Interested students send a letter of intent by e-mail. This letter should include a proposal for an urban landscape element on which they would like to work in the course of the seminar.
		Please send this e-mail before 15th of October 2008 to Ellen Fetzer, Nürtingen-Geislingen University, Germany (ellen.fetzer(at)hfwu.de).
		Depending on the level of interest, places may be limited to one student per university. However, one student can act as a contact person for the seminar in case you want to participate as a university group.

		== Technological Requirements ==

		*stable internet connection (DSL)
		*PC with Windows operation system (MAC may be also supported)
		*headset

		== How to contribute as a speaker ==
		[[image:Members room.jpg\|thumb\|crop=right10%;left15%;top5%;bottom20%\|plenary session in the LE:NOTRE members room]]
		If you are contributing as a speaker in one of the plenary sessions you will be asked to prepare for a 20 - 30 minutes presentation in the form of a PowerPoint slideshow. Presentations are usually followed by a moderated discussion. You can ask for assistance of the seminar tutors in case you are not familiar with Powerpoint. Plenary sessions usually take 90 minutes.


		'''Thematic scope:'''

		Your presentation should focus on a case study of your regional (urban) context or on a strategic/theoretical study (or a mixture of both). A case study in understood as a realised landscape architecture project and/or strategic plan. You may be inclined to present recently developed projects. However, case studies with a certain level of matureness and evaluation are more appropriate for this seminar's discourse.

		If your are preparing a case study presentation please build on this template: [[LE:NOTRE Mundus Case Study Template\|Mundus Case Study]]


		'''Guidelines for presentations'''

		Please consider the following aspects when you are preparing for a presentation:

		*Please avoid written information on the slides except for the most essential statement and questions. As you will be talking synchronously to the audience there is absolutely no need to add much textual information on the slides.
		*Please add many visuals and use the space given. You may not add a number of small images on one slide. Use several slides, each with one image.
		*If you have questions to the audience (for example at the end in order to stimulate the discussion) you should visualise the question on the slide.
		*Please send your presentation in good time to the seminar coordinator (one day before the meeting). We then have the chance to propose changes or additions in order to make your presentation more suitable for a virtual classroom setting.

	~~''Status: Draft 2.0 / Simon Swaffield, comments: Ellen Fetzer/Richard Stiles Sept 08''~~

	~~== '''General''' ==~~

	* The purpose of the Le Notre Mundus case studies is for comparative teaching at advanced undergraduate or postgraduate level.
	* The case studies can be focused upon an area, or a plan, or a project. The key requirement is that it should be a coherent urban or cultural landscape topic that reveals insights of potential value to educators in other countries.
	* The following guidelines and checklist has been developed to guide contributors and ensure that there is some consistency of style and content. The checklist is aimed at current best practice [http://lda.ucdavis.edu/people/websites/francis/Francis%20LJ%20Methods.pdf Francis 2001].

	~~== '''Format''' ==~~

	~~=== Basic format ===~~

	* The basic format addresses contributors who are not yet familiar with publishing directly on the LE:NOTRE homepage or on the internet in general. In this case you would submit an illustrated report in the form of a Word or a PDF file. The illustrations can either be incorporated into the text, or attached as appendices. Images, diagrams etc should be prepared as pdfs.
	*A check list of sections headings is suggested below, to cover the main features of a comparative case study.
	*All material should be in English

	~~=== Powerpoint format ===~~

	*You can enhance the basic format by adding a Powerpoint presentation. The slides should correspond to the section headings and include the core statements of your report.
	*On the Powerpoint, you should aim for no more than 30 slides in total.
	*Limit the text on each slide to what can easily be read by a student in a lecture, and place more detailed background notes for the teacher in the notes section.
	* All material should be in English

	~~=== LE:NOTRE Encyclopedia ===~~
	*The new [http://www.le-notre.org/encyclopedia/encyclopedia_overview.php Encyclopaedia database] is a powerful additional resource on the LE:NOTRE web site. It will let you write structured entries and add links to web sites, images and literature references from the web site’s own databases.
	*This is the recommended format for urban landscape case studies
	* A tutorial for editing the encyclopedia will be published soon.

	~~=== VITERO Seminars and Recordings ===~~

	* VITERO stands for Virtual Team Room, this is the online meeting room of the LE:NOTRE project enabling synchronous communication on the internet.
	* If your present your case study in the course of an urban landscapes online seminar, the session can be recorded and published on the LE:NOTRE website.
	* Seminar recordings are important teaching resources and they will enhance your case study presentation.
	* You may have a look at a recording example: [http://le-notre.org/elearning/resources/lincoln_theory Landscape Theory]

	~~== '''Copyright''' ==~~

	*It is vital that material in the case study is not limited by copyright and that it is legal for all members of LE NOTRE to reuse the material in their teaching.
	* We recommend using a [http://creativecommons.org creative commons licence] for your contribution.
