I am very happy to announce, that I edited a volume on digital teaching and learning (Communicating the Past) and it came out just a couple days ago! Way back I reported that I will give a presentation on a symposium that I organised at the University of Cologne in Germany. The publication is the outcome of that symposium, where I also wrote a chapter on the challenges of archaeological reconstruction.
The good news is, that the whole publication is open access, so if you want, you can directly download it as a whole or as individual chapters at the publishers website. The chapters are not all focused on reconstruction, but on other relevant topics as well, like archaeogaming, museum studies, teaching and learning or learning environments. I have listed here everything that is part of that volume:
