The broadening of the term has at the same time increased the complexity of the information originating from different domains and being on different scales and forms. In this context, the objectives as well as the challenges involved in the Cultural Heritage sector have become highly diversified, often leading to fragmented and less successful interventions which do not conform with the principles of Sustainable Development. Therefore Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development should correlate with each another. Pursuing the achievement of sustainable models of development for cultural landscapes, this paper investigates how the factor of scale can act as a linkage between the fields of Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development.

As part of the needs analysis, the authors gathered data from 19 European countries, including the five partner countries in this project (i.e. Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Italy and Portugal). In the first stage of the needs analysis, educators across Europe were surveyed about their digital competence in online assessment. This article focuses on the second stage of the needs analysis and investigates potential disciplinary differences in the competencies of academics concerning digital assessment within the DigComp Edu framework and chemistry, economics, information science and engineering, environmental and geosciences, life sciences, mathematics, physics, social sciences and humanities. The article begins with the rationale for the 'DigitalHEIghts' project, followed by a literature review on elearning and disciplinary differences. Some literature indicates that online learning is perceived differently among academic disciplines. For example, it has been argued that in the disciplines of business and management, education, mathematics and engineering, compared to law and art and design, elearning is more prominent. However, this does not tell us much about the competencies of academics vis-à-vis online assessment. The article continues with the methodology for the data collection and analysis and, finally, it elaborates specifically on digital assessment competencies among the disciplines covered.

Emergency Remote Learning (ERL), Emergency Online Learning (EOL) and Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) all refer to the rapid transition to online/remote instruction by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) that traditionally deliver face-to-face instruction. This transition, however, was troublesome, and several instructional challenges were identified, including the need for training in online education, learner access to the required technology and the maintenance of academic standards for online assessment. The aim of the Erasmus+ project 'DigitalHEIghts' is to promote a sustainable pathway for transforming online assessment of learning and to support the digital upskilling of academics in digital assessment through the development of digital readiness, resilience and capacity by making use of the DigComp Edu framework for HE. A European crosscountry and interdisciplinary needs analysis among academics from the project's partner countries and elsewhere is an integral part of the overall project aims. This article elaborates on the survey, the data gathered, as well as the results from this needs analysis.

Mixed Reality and Gamification for Cultural Heritage

Today, the information revolution has given the ability to scientists, educators, researchers, and individuals not only to use a variety of digital libraries as an information source but also to contribute to these libraries by uploading data that they create, leading to a massive production of knowledge that we need to verify, manage, archive, preserve, and reuse. Cultural heritage data is a category in digital libraries that needs much attention, because of its crucial role in helping us to interact with the past and learn, promote, and preserve our cultural assets. Digital documentation of tangible and intangible heritage, data formats and standards, metadata and semantics, Linked Data, crowdsourcing and cloud, use and reuse of data, and copyright issues are the rising challenges that we try to address in this chapter, through literature review and best practice examples. At the end of this analysis, this chapter tries to predict the near future of digital heritage libraries, where 3D digital assets will be part of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality experiences.
