Course Content (Syllabus)
The course explores issues of theory and practices around the teaching and use of Information and Communication Technologies in the teaching and learning process as it is achieved through the Arts and cultural goods - environments (Museum education). Emphasis is placed on the pedagogical dimension and how educators can contribute to a better familiarisation and engagement of students with the arts and museums with the contribution of ICTs. A core aim remains students' holistic education and the formation of their individual and cultural identity adapted to the new reality of technological development. Through the theoretical approach and the practical exercises, students will acquire a comprehensive and direct perception of the benefits and possible risks arising from the systematic reception of cultural goods through technology. A parallel aim is to familiarise the participants with the latest applications and the practical use of the websites and applications in the expanded interdisciplinary approach of the curriculum. Main modules: - Educational programmes for an ICT-assisted interdisciplinary approach in and out of school, focusing on the arts and familiarising with relevant web and non-web applications/ synchronous & asynchronous. - Investigation of museums' historical development and an interpretation of the objectives of museum education with an emphasis on the use of ICTs. - Teaching the curriculum through collections and exhibitions, using ICT and related online applications. - Critical approach to relevant literature and applied examples/programmes/websites.
