Encounters in wartime : interactive technology and storytelling for digital heritage
No full textThe city archives of ‘s-Hertogenbosch (the Netherlands) hold extensive World War II heritage, including diaries, letters, and photographs. To bring these stories to life an interactive exhibit was developed entitled ‘Encounters in Wartime’. This mobile, interactive exhibit, uses speech recognition technology to enable visitors to engage with three WWII-era characters through interactive dialogues. Using the four-stage conceptual model of virtual heritage preservation for visitor experience as a framework, this case study describes the design and development process of the exhibit, highlighting the challenges of applying storytelling tools and interactive technology to intangible heritage. We report on a pilot version of the exhibit, which was tested with visitors to a public event in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The findings indicate high visitor engagement and emotional connection with the characters as a result of the digital presentation. The study concludes with practical implications for integrating interactive technology and storytelling in the context of intangible heritage

No full textMaking learning visible: collaboratively designing assessment for sustainability education
No full textEducation for Sustainable Development (ESD) challenges educators to foster critical, reflexive, and transformative learning in response to complex sustainability issues. While many higher education institutions have embraced transformative pedagogies, assessment practices often lag behind, remaining tied to outputbased formats that inadequately capture personal, emergent, and value-driven learning. This workshop addresses this gap by introducing co-design methods developed through a Comenius Teaching Fellow project, grounded in design-based research. Participants will engage with tools from the ‘ESD Assessment Design Toolkit’ and follow a pressure-cooker design process to develop innovative assessment elements. The process begins by exploring students' voices to identify meaningful learning moments, moves through defining personal assessment challenges, and culminates in prototyping ESD-aligned assessment elements. The workshop offers hands-on experience in designing assessment that supports learner agency, complexity navigation, and the integration of uncertainty and multiple perspectives. Participants leave with tangible ideas to apply in their own context. Ultimately, this session responds to urgent calls in ESD literature to stop reinventing frameworks and instead focus on operationalising sustainability assessment meaningfully in real educational settings
Digitalization as a catalyst for resilience in the hospitality sector.
No full textHospitality organizations are particularly vulnerable to changes in demand caused by disruptive events such as natural catastrophes, geopolitical events, and pandemic diseases. Nevertheless, the development of organizational resilience by hospitality organizations has remained under-explored. The ongoing digitalization trend provides a unique opportunity for hospitality organizations to combine the adoption of digitalization tools with the development of data analytic capability as a way to anticipate disruptive events and mitigate their impact on operations and performance. Through a cross-sectional survey design and using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling, the present study demonstrates that hospitality organizations can improve their organizational resilience by developing data analytic capability. This can be achieved by (1) investing in the digital tools and IT infrastructure that allows them to sense their environment and (2) adapting their organizational infrastructure to quickly be able to use this information in decision-making. A limitation of the study lies in the use of cross-sectional data which limits temporal causality inferences.<br/
