Workshop Venue: Athens, Onassis Cultural Centre
During this workshop, current best practices for environments/applications to facilitate re-use of digital cultural heritage content in an educational context were examined. ‘Education’ here refers not only to the general school system but also to educational services in museums or lifelong-learning programmes.
This workshop presented the E-Space Educational Demonstrators, and also served to gain more feedback and see how further implementation of the developed tools in an educational context could best fit.
The Europeana Space MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) was also presented. A Demo room was open to allow workshop participants to explore the Demonstrator prototypes. the brand new E-Space for Education web environment was also officially launched!
