ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:34:41 +0000

The royal chapel of Granada, which was erected to preserve the remains of the Catholic Monarchs, was built in Gothic style between 1505 and 1517. The 16th century is the century of the chapel’s fullness, where the sobriety of the building is highlighted. Under Emperor Charles I it continued to flourish with all kinds of decorations. Today, the mark left by Queen Isabella, in a certain sense, marks the large number of visits that take place every year. On this website, users can access the history of the monument, as well as take a guided tour where they can see the different cultural contributions that the chapel has undergone over the last 500 years. This portal also contains complementary information on the Lonja, built in 1518 by the Granada City Council.

Didactics 2.0 Museums in women’s terms

ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:34:35 +0000

Didactica 2.0 Museos en Femenino is the result of joint work between a team from the Instituto de Investigaciones Feministas of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, the Asociación e-Mujeres and the teams from the museums participating in the project: Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Museo del Traje and Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí. The project focuses on women in art and aims to develop joint actions in the field of museums to disseminate and facilitate knowledge of the cultural heritage held in them and promote their integration. On the website, each of the participating museums offers detailed and precise itineraries, as well as access to the corresponding teaching guides. These guides are extremely useful for both students and teachers. It is therefore a very useful tool for dissemination and teaching to guide the analysis of art and history from a gender perspective. For the period of the Modern Age, the proposals that best fit its chronology are those of the Museo del Prado and, in part, those of the Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí and the Museo del Traje.

Common Educational Space. Open educational resources network

ad_hlab_min — Sat, 19 Feb 2022 16:34:17 +0000

A space for educational and learning uses, mainly by the teaching community and students, but also by the general public. Here it will be possible to search, consult and download learning objects in different formats. The Procomún Educational Space is an initiative of the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MEFP) that builds on the Agrega Project, enriching it with new elements. It takes the form of a web space that integrates learning objects and teaching experiences, constituting an intelligent, social and distributed network. It contains the repository of Open Educational Resources (REA) created by the MEFP and the Autonomous Communities, in which the educational community can find and create structured teaching material, classified in a standardised way (LOM-ES), ready for downloading and direct use by teachers and students. A “semantic layer” has been built on top of the existing platform and the services offered by the website have been extended by working with structured and linked data within the framework of semantic web standards. The incorporation of a faceted search engine allows users to find educational objects by restricting the overall set of results through multiple criteria or facets based on their own reasoning. The other fundamental element of the Procomún Educational Space is the Teaching Social Network closely linked to the educational resources through a system of social tagging, user voting, educational contexts, recommendations for use and learning communities. The contents are structured in different areas of knowledge and educational levels, from kindergarten to university.
