Welcome to the latest DigiCULT Announcement.

Thematic Issue 4 - Now Available
Learning Objects from Cultural and Scientific Heritage Resources

Heritage institutions need to improve their relevance for the education
sector and lifelong learners in attractive, efficient, and sustainable
ways. Simply displaying collection objects, considered useful for
informal learning in some way or another online, is not enough.What is
called for are learning objects: highly Interoperable and reusable
modular building blocks for e-learning content based on widely shared
specifications or standards.

Provision of such objects demands closer collaboration between the
heritage and e-learning sectors that concentrates on the enhancement of
e-learning Interoperability, both in terms of technical standards and in
terms of appropriate forms of learning. DigiCULT regards such
collaboration as crucial to unlocking the richness and diversity of
Europe's cultural and scientific heritage for e-learning within our
knowledge-based society.
