Abstract
This paper focuses upon the current state of teaching with computers in the disciplines of history, archaeology and art history in U.K. higher education. Computers have been used in historical and archaeological research since the 1960s and have become increasingly important in the 1980s. An analysis of the preliminary results of a survey conducted by the Computers in Teaching Initiative Centre for History with Archaeology and Art History demonstrates that these research applications have now extended into teaching. Many history and archaeology departments now offer computer-assisted courses. The close relationship between research and teaching is exemplified by the workshop approach used in these courses, whereby students are taught to analyse data to help them increase their understanding of their subject. Much remains to be done. The conclusion identifies a number of obstacles which must be addressed if computers are to be integrated fully into historical, archaeological and art historical curricula.
