Abstract

This paper analyses the current trends regarding the use of digital technologies in archeology and heritage education. The study stems from a theoretical analysis of the educational potential of archeology which is channeled later into the didactic use of digital models reconstruction and interpretation of archaeological objects and spaces. This research establishes three basic lines of educational innovation: immersive virtual reality models, social interaction web 2.0 environments, and mobile learning. It also highlights the evaluation of heritage projects and materials based on digital technologies as an emerging interest in this field of research. The article is the result of original research conducted by the authors and supported by competitive research projects, but it also refers to other projects and experiences.
