| == '''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]
