Cabot Mundi
General Description
An interactive online map to index projects undertaken in Rome by students at John Cabot University. The map functions as an archaeology of Cabot’s interface with local Roman businesses, artisans, theaters, music, and technology firms, among others. The exchange between students and their lived Roman environment will be mapped with short pithy descriptions and hyperlinked to interviews, or very short films. The benefit for students will be promotion of their direct contact with businesses while businesses will benefit from gaining exposure through the mapping service and association with the university.
Objectives/Outcomes
Create an interactive map of JCU’s presence and influence in Rome
Create interviews and small films documenting the local reality
Create a finding aid organized by location, neighborhood, discipline, and service rendered
Potential source of income for students (if they are actually hired by businesses) and advertising revenue by
those who wish to interface with this service on a pronounced level.
