Ways to Use the Website
The website can be read by the student
outside of the class. The student should also read the other
VKRP sites relating to the history of the Islamic period on
the Karak plateau. Require the students to compose answers
to the review questions or use the same questions in class.
The website (http://islamicceramics.ashmol.ac.uk) provides a
useful supplement to many of the issues raised in the review
questions.
