''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.
