Abstract: In order to overcome the major gap between the Cultural Heritage (CH) and the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) world, which is slowing down the successful use of ICT technologies; this paper presents the methodology behind the creation of the Network of Expertise. The main objective of this network is to support the understanding of both worlds, providing training and facilitating knowledge acquisition of the domain from all perspectives. The methodology known as Learning Network integrates action learning techniques with the network approach producing a very powerful mechanism for sharing knowledge between different organisations. The vision is to create a network of centres, organised in a Europe-wide network, integrating a number of local CH and ICT institutions, policymakers, companies, research institutions and other stakeholders with a regional mission to improve the sector. The paper will further discuss the lessons learned, successes and challenges encountered during the implementation of the network.

In order to overcome the major challenges and gain from the opportunities phased by the Cultural Heritage (CH) institutions as they enter into the digital world, EPOCH developed the Network of Expertise Centers in CH. This paper presents the main methodological elements, and the roadmap behind the creation of the Network of Expertise in CH. The main objective of this network is to support the understanding of both worlds, provide training and facilitate knowledge acquisition of the CH+ICT domain, improve methodologies and techniques to fit better with the needs of the users and debate new ways to introduce and use technology in the CH institutions. The methodology known as Learning Network integrates action learning techniques with the network approach, producing a very powerful mechanism for sharing knowledge between different organisations.

The paper offers an experience-based viewpoint on two key phases of the development of an Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)-based system: the defini-tion of requirements and the identification of related criteria and methodology for its evaluation. In doing so, it refers to the unique context of the i-Treasures EU project, which deals with the development of an innovative integrated platform to support the learning and transmission of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). The i-Treasures inte-grated platform is conceived to support both traditional learning approaches and innova-tive and active learning processes, based on extensive use of sensor-technologies. In this light, during the development process, particular attention has been devoted to the defi-nition of requirements with specific reference to sensor- mediated Human Computer In-teraction (HCI) issues and the evaluation process was designed accordingly, in coher-ence with the specific advanced features of the integrated platform. The paper offers a view of the complexity of the design of ICT-based tools supporting the preservation and transmission of ICH and also provides an insight (and this could have a broader impact) into the methodology adopted to harmonize the requirements and the evaluation phases which are key pillars for the construction of any educationally effective ICT-based learning system.
A proposal for a curriculum in digital approaches to cultural heritage
keywords individual knowledge, multi -disciplinary approach, inter -departmental center, selective knowledge, communities of practice, digital knowledge technologies, transfer of learning, educational psychology, learning by engagement. The draft curriculum presented below is based on ideas taken from educational psychology approaches related to the use of new media and new (IST) tools, and in particular the application of IST as digital cognitive tools, having in mind two main objectives: engaging IST for the creation of knowledge by learners and the use of IST for the creation of social spaces of learning, merging concepts deriving from the constructivist learning theories with the emergence of new technologies and their (potential) impact on society in general and on the learning processes in particular. As such, the curriculum proposed should reflect a balance between the learning of existing IST tools, the creation of new ones, adapted for CH, finding new answers to old questions, the definition of new research questions while implementing IST tools and, in very general terms, using IST in a modern knowledge -based society as a learning instrument of Cultural Heritage.
