The Range of Information Technology (IT) resources available to support students studying the modern Middle East continues to expand. Some recent additions are traditional reference materials, now available on CD-ROM or via the Internet. Established projects for simulation can now be tailored to Middle East topics. Others are creative packages introducing students to key issues and concepts about the region. All broaden the options for teachers to facilitate student learning through innovative assignments, research projects, and hands-on modules. Recent experience with these resources indicates that they significantly enhance the learning environment by supplementing traditional “chalk and talk” pedagogy.
