| Abstract | In an era of rapid digitisation, teachers are recommended to tailor learning experiences to the needs of individual students, to present students with more materials more interactive in nature, and to continue to engage with current developments in the field. For such purposes, digital tools constitute an invaluable aid. This second session will show how various existing digital tools can be used to form an interactive learning environment for students. The session explores how to actively engage students in the use of the digital means available today - including the use of virtual reality and 3D printing - which allow them to interact with a diverse range of aspects of medieval culture. |
