IFLA SET with University of Calcutta LIS Department - Digital libraries and learning
Friday, 5 February, 15:00 – 16:30 CET/UTC+1 (Live AI translation and transcription available)
Registration Link: https://zoom.us/webinar/
Speakers: Prof Anna Maria Tammaro and Dr Juan Mastromatteo
Digital libraries are socio-technological systems whose vision originated in cognitive science for supporting knowledge creation and learning. This Webinar focuses on the theoretical approaches and best practices of the convergence between digital libraries and learning which is described through a systematic analysis of literature and documentation. Digital libraries can offer a learning environment. Furthermore, offering OER (open educational resources) digital libraries can be a strategic step to improve open education and e-learning. By bringing new applications to teaching and learning, digital libraries could act as innovators in the field of learning.
Digital librarians as educators need a better understanding of learning theories and they need to focus on the communities training needs. COVID-19's impact on digital libraries and e-learning has evidenced specific examples of the opportunities of the convergence between the communities of digital libraries and e-learning.
