Better link for Hieronymus Bosch’s painting the Temptation of Saint Anthony

Isn't this a better link to the visuals than the current one for the Temptation of St. Anthony:

Hi Wayne,

Yes, I agree. I've made many such changes. I'll go ahead with this one.

Great activities - -can we expand to incorporate P2P sharing

Would be great if we can incorporate microblog ideas as triggers for learners to share their experiences.

Consistency of linking to wp articles about subjects and artists

In the Landscapes section on this page, there is a link to the wp Nebamun article. However in the portraits section there is no link to Nefertiti or Xianfang. I think it would be useful to have a style guideline which helps us decided when to include links. My suggestion would be, in most cases, to link to articles about artists and authors, not to articles about the subjects of the work of art.

Including the art, rather than linking to it

Aboriginal hand stencils in New South Wales, Australia
I'm wondering if for this course we should include appropriate images directly, in preference to linking to them. As a learner, I may not bother to check a link, but I won't be able to help noticing an image on the page.
Prehistoric painting in the Lascaux caves, France

In the description section on this page, there are two text links to cave art. Seems to me we could include these on the page, something like what I've included here.


This may challenge our layout ability, but may offer a richer experience for the learner. I suggest considering this as a design principle for the course which we can put in our style guide.

Hi Alison,

If the images are openly licensed - -my preference would be to include them in the course materials. This is useful for learners who may not have reliable or expensive internet access and could use a print-version alternative.

It may require a little "padding" text to assist with layout but better in the long run imho.

We decided at a meeting (13 Aug 2012) of Irwin, Gail and Alison to include images on the page, in preference to linking to them: note on meeting notes page.

I am proceeding with making changes of this kind, as seems appropriate to the content.
