MOdE - Museo Officina dell’Educazione: An Open Space for Digital Didactics

Abstract

MOdE - Museo Officina dell’Educazione is a digital museum of the Department of Education Sciences “Giovanni Maria Bertin” of the University of Bologna. It performs activities of scientific study and research, cataloguing with a metadata system, educational provision and mediation, besides the organisation of exhibition events with museums and cultural institutions at the national and international level. All the objects/cultural assets of the museum are thus virtually accessible in line with the European standards of museological cataloguing.  The main aims of the MOdE concern the exhibition, preservation and valorisation of the “objects,” expression of the pedagogical sciences. Its main actions are finalised to the setting up of interactive exhibition rooms dedicated to the different disciplinary fields of the education sciences, supporting an active dialogue between students and teachers; the documentation and diffusion of the educational best practices, published and made accessible within a specific repository area.
