Education is a software component supporting the creation and use of interactive educational packages. This software primarily provides assistance to teachers and lecturers working in the public education sector and public collection institutions, though it is effectively applicable in other fields, as well. The module provides a playful learning experience in school, library and museum settings. Consequently, lecturers can use the recently popular electronic devices preferred by their students to raise interest in a given subject through combining online and offline education materials.
Users can work with records from external and internal data sources, textual material and media content to create teaching materials for educational packages. The exercises – quizzes, timelines, word searches, puzzles – and information in the educational materials allow students to interactively explore a topic – let it be the history of a castle, János Arany’s ballads, or science questions.
Main features:
- producing educational packages
- internal, external and in-house resources can be brought together in one place to build different exercises
- it is integrated with HunTéka/Corvina systems, which makes is possible to take work with so-called internal resources taken from the collection (these resources are important metadata and associated media of a record)
- user-friendly web interface
Education is a modern digital toolkit for public collections to reuse the cultural knowledge, records and content they manage, thus engaging in informal education. Education is a knowledge transfer tool for cultural and public institutions in the world of digitisation, enabling them to reach their school-age audiences both on new platforms and in novel ways.
