Visitor's engagement with heritage sites is a traditional view to explore the informal learning spaces in the cultural sector (Budge & Burness, 2018). Informal learning within heritage sites, however, has been informed and changed by the digitization and virtualization in the cultural sector (King, Stark & Cooke, 2016). But this generates new research interests to establish links between the traditional and the digital cultural studies (eg. Turkle, 2013; Bland, 2014; Fitzgerald, 2015). This paper discussed several cases to show how digital technologies inform visitor's engagement with heritage sites. In this way, this paper also explores the informal learning in the digital era.\u0000\u0000\u0000Keywords: Engagement, informal learning, digital heritage sites, digital technologies in cultural sector.","PeriodicalId":113523,"journal":{"name":"14th GCBSS Proceeding 2022","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124406047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
