Material Detail

The Hilali Toolkit is designed to be a living resource for teachers and students which merges new ideas about teaching and learning in Higher Education with and about Intangible Cultural Heritage and Computing Science.

As communities across the world become increasingly concerned about safeguarding and protecting their heritage, local educational systems (and the teachers and students who teach and learn in them) can adapt their existing curricula or create new ones to address this challenge.  This toolkit proposes that cultural heritage, computing science teaching, together with the sensitization to qualitative research methods, can lead to engaging learning experiences for students which can have a genuine impact on education for sustainable development.

This toolkit has proven to be effective for an Egyptian audience but it can prove beneficial as a locally and culturally relevant educational resource in other Middle East & Arab countries and communities and beyond.

The Hilali Toolkit grows out of The Hilali Network, a self-organized network which brings people, ideas and projects together across borders and shared interests in cultural Heritage and technology. The toolkit is an educational resource which can be used in Higher Education as well as with communities of adult learners in formal and informal learning contexts internationally. University teachers and students based in Egypt and beyond are invited to continue to play a key role as the leaders and beneficiaries of the learning resources in the Hilali Toolkit.

We invite local, regional and national cultural heritage organizations to participate and re-mix, adapt the open educational resources and technologies made available in the Hilali Toolkit.
