The Amiens Cathedral
Interactive Glossary
Description: The Amiens Cathedral animated glossary is
a fundamental rethinking of the standard "list of glossary
terms" in a digital format that allows students to master
the vocabulary that describe the parts of a Gothic Cathedral.
The program focuses on the terms associated with the ground
plan and the elevation of the Cathedral. Designed to accommodate
individual learning habits and preferences, students move easily
through a digital environment that is both instructive and engaging.
The Animated Glossary is part of a larger compliment of advanced
digital materials developed by Professor Stephen Murray focusing
on the Gothic Cathedral of Amiens including: two video productions,
an interactive CD-ROM and a comprehensive Web site—delivering
primary texts and rich imaging specifically tailored to the
Art Humanities program.
