| Abstract | In an era of rapid digitisation, the transmission of information has undergone massive changes. Indeed, teachers worldwide have had to utilize Web technology in communicating with their students. Digital tools constitute an invaluable aid in further ways, too. Teachers are recommended to tailor learning experiences to the needs of individual students, to present students with materials more interactive in nature, and to continue to engage with current developments in the field. This panel brings together papers that rethink how we approach teaching the medieval in the digital age by means of virtual reality, 3D printing, and new online representations and platforms. |
