Forwarded for interest of FISH members. (apologies for cross-posting).
This 50 page report sounds like it might be relevant to discussion of how we
as providers of records can also present interpretative material based upon
those records for eductational use in its broadest sense. This was an area
that was touched upon in our recent discussion of areas of development for
the 2nd edition of MIDAS.

Thematic Issue 4 - Now Available - Learning Objects from Cultural and
Scientific Heritage Resources
Importance: High
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.
