Old v/s Historic: What is Historic Anyway?Melissa Wyllie
View the presentation by Melissa Wyllie at the Metro Nashville Old House Fair to find out what historians and preservationists look at to determine if a building is historic or just old.
Cultural heritage education in most European countries was based for a long time on traditional teaching methods such as face-to-face classroom lessons using mainly printed materials (texts and images), and very seldom watching videos. Strangely enough, such innovativeness has not yet reflected openness to the introduction of ICT in teaching and learning methods, which has, on the contrary, characterized other disciplines in the last few years. As a matter of fact, no specific reference was directly made in the recommendation, as far as the use of ICT to support and enhance Cultural Heritage Education. As a consequence, nowadays ICT, while being increasingly employed in the field of Cultural Heritage to produce large archives of materials, to support scientific research and to foster the maintenance/preservation of Cultural Heritage artifacts, has not yet affected the approaches to teaching and learning in Cultural Heritage Education enough. The presentation focuses mainly on multimedia materials and their implementation in educational process in the cultural heritage.
