Integrating Hypermedia, Database, and Network Technologies for Cultural and Technological Heritage in Education

This paper presents the design, development and maintenance of didactic itineraries plus related support for the integration of pupils' direct experience of the cultural and environmental heritage with traditional in-class activities. This integration is seen as a dynamic process that focuses on the collaboration of various experts in relation to (i) the topics dealt with, (ii) the psycho-pedagological, communicative and curricula aspects that are suitable for the pupils, and (iii) the tools and technological means available for this development. Within this framework we propose a system for efficiently carrying out the design, development and maintenance of didactic itineraries based on tools for managing and organizing (i) the data to use, and (ii) the collaboration between the various people involved.
