Methodology & assessment

The course adopts a hands-on, experiential learning methodology, with participants engaging in interactive workshops, museum visits (physical or virtual), and collaborative group projects. Through these activities, educators will explore how to creatively incorporate museum exhibits, artifacts, and digital resources into their teaching. Group discussions, case studies, and peer feedback will help participants share ideas and refine their approaches to museum-based learning.
Assessment will be formative, focusing on practical application and creativity. Participants will be evaluated based on their engagement in workshops, the development of creative lesson plans and activities, and their ability to integrate museum resources into classroom settings. Feedback will be provided through peer collaboration, trainer insights, and a final project where participants will design a museum-based lesson or activity that demonstrates their learning and application of creative cultural learning stra
