Virtual heritage production as a tool in education

The focus of Virtual Heritage in education usually is on its use as a tool for teaching and dissemination. However, production of Virtual Heritage applications and demonstrations typically involve people from many different fields of expertise. This makes the act of producing such material a good match for a hands-on approach for learning interdisciplinary teamwork in theory and practice. This paper presents experience and results from using production of virtual heritage applications and demonstrations as an educational tool for such learning, as done at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
