Online Education on African Archaeology and Heritage: The ONLAAH Platform

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeology in Mozambique: Current Issues and Topics in Archaeology and Heritage Management" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Onlaah platform is formed by a consortium of institutions and partners, from Africa and around the world, such as the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), the University of Namibia (UNAM), the University Eduardo Mondlane (Angola), the ICArEHB (Algarve University, Portugal), the Autonoma University of Barcelona (Spain), the Neuchâtel University (Switzerland), and the University of Louisville (USA). Our main objective, the creation of an online course (MOOC) on African Archaeology and Heritage, brings together the experts (teachers and researchers) and the resources (online archives, publications, databases) and offers them in an organized way to students worldwide, with a special focus on African students. The courses can be followed on the Coursera platform through computers, tablets, or smartphones. We will present our platform to the SAA community and discuss its possibilities, necessities, and experiences regarding online education.
