The CULTURAL RESOURCE KIT is a downloadable multimodal e-LIBRARY with updated materials, tools, methodologies and plans from verified sources that will facilitate self-directed learning and support the design of high added value digital experiences in sites, museums and collections.

The CULTURAL RESOURCE KIT facilitates domain specific knowledge acquisition and transfer in disruptive learner settings. It works as an indicator of trends, problems, solutions, deviations, new potential services and products since media materials can be generated and uploaded in almost real-time using the local ICT access points provided by the Project

Task_3.5: The Mediathek

The Mediathek is a compilation of media evolving all across the Project Life to be utilized in the training process combined with a selection of academic documents for the design and implementation of digital culture. 

OPEN ACCESS MEDIATHEK: a collection of media material produced across the Project life, which works as an indicator of trends, problems, solutions and deviations. It detects new potential services/products since media materials can be generated and uploaded in real-time using the local ICT access points the learners utilize. 

All PPs collect AV materials from the 36 Project activities (COMM/R1-5/C1) and feedback the MEDIATHEK which stays accessible across the Project life.
