Using open educational resources on culture for the creation of MOOCs: A proposal of training for secondary education teachers

摘要

Because of their development in recent years Digital Humanities have been applied to the field of Education on an international level. In the field of Culture especially, a mere search online will reveal the great number of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that focus on Greek Arts. In Greece, on the contrary, despite the plethora of Greek sites, the digitalized material on culture they contain has not been systematically used in the field of education. In this paper we suggest a way to create Greek MOOCs for Greek Arts making use of digitalized resources of cultural material, mainly DARIA-GR. In this proposal we use University Open Courses so that the described platform will be able to form, on the one hand, a basis for the training of SE teachers who teach the relevant disciplines and on the other hand an area of enriched material aiding them in the teaching process. Finally, we recommend that TraMOOC be used for the creation of complete foreign-language MOOC for Digital Humanities.
