Making cultural heritage digitally accessible

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-10-29

Summary:

"In October 2017, The Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology at the University of Birmingham began a cooperation project in classical archaeology with the universities of Kiel, Aarhus, Bergen and Paris as well as the Open University of the Netherlands. The partnership project is funded with around €370,000 (of which UoB receives around €60,000) by the European Union (EU) as part of the ERASMUS+ programme and is headed by the Institute of Classics at Kiel University. The project is entitled “Ancient Cities. Creating a Digital Learning Environment on Cultural Heritage”. The Europe-wide cooperation project's goal is to digitally set up the cultural heritage using the ancient city as an example, during the three-year period. An innovative, pan-European, digital learning module is to be developed within this international teaching project’s three-year period. The project partners at each university are creating in collaboration with archaeology students a so-called Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), which is an open access film-based and interactive form of learning, in which those interested can participate from wherever they are via the Internet. In this way, the project participants will employ research on a variety of ancient cities in order to prepare contents on Classical Archaeology in a modern teaching format. A three-day launch meeting for the European cooperation project took place in mid-October at Kiel University (photo). "
