The repository not only provides a rich collection of teaching materials, lesson plans, syllabi and other resources to academics teaching within the program, it also helps to convey and document the history and evolution of The Great Conversation at St. Olaf college.<\/p>\n<p>The project was not merely a mass conversion of materials to digital form. It represents significant intellectual work in selecting what should be preserved, eliminating duplication, organizing it in a meaningful way, and creating metadata tags that reflect how the sequence is taught. This collection of syllabi, study questions, lectures, class activities, assignments, readings and illustrations is particularly useful to faculty new to the program, since they will be teaching across disciplines and therefore will sometimes find themselves outside their familiar expertise.<\/p>\n<h2><br class=\"none\" \/>More\u00a0Projects<\/h2>\n<div class=\"soliloquy-outer-container
