MODULE 6 shall explains the concept of digital cultural heritage and the 4th Industrial Revolution. The latter is a concept explicitly explained by Klaus Schwab in the homonymous book, has altered the production of various industrial sectors, mostly due to the fusion of technologies blurring the line between digital and physical, – the cultural market included. The tutors need to explain that new communication patterns define new markets and preferences, while the constant use of e-devices in daily life impacts the common sense through the interpretation of visual codes. ICT allows manipulating and animating the images repurposing the context in a composite process unthinkable just a few years ago. Digital Publishing 2.0 is marked by the conversion technologies that promise an unprecedented level of consumer interaction with content through smartphones, e– readers, and tablets, as well as an equally engaging experience through computers. Learners need to realize the question, what kind of impact can this opportunity have on the ability to produce meaning beyond the technical aspect.
