Summary
Digitalisation of cultural heritage is key for university studies because it is among the newest tools used by younger generations; without it, students’ connection to cultural heritage will become harder. It also opens the way to new objectives and makes it possible to observe tangible and intangible heritage as it was when first created — experiencing a carnival at its origins or seeing great cathedrals while they were being built — which allows deeper study. How best to integrate these tools into curricula still needs research, but they will bring a wide range of new activities for professors and students alike.
Seeing those amazing cathedrals when they were constructed.
