Digital ExTra stands for Digital Exhibition Training. The project is sponsored by the Swedish National Agency through the Leanardo da Vinci program. It is based upon the transfer of innovation of studies carried out within the eTEN funded project ECMADE www.ecmade.netThe project has its starting point in the needs of small to medium-sized museums and archives for creating digital exhibitions on the internet and addresses the main reasons for a lack of cultural heritage related eContent being produced today.•A lack of sector specific training opportunities for personnel within the ALM, VET and in cultural heritage tourism and ICT/media sectors.• The economic barriers for the production of digital material.• A lack of synergy between the needs of the cultural sectors and the knowledge of the ICT media sector.The aim of the Digital ExTra consortium therefore is to create a sector specific training course with associated e Learning resource material for professional personnel in the cultural sector and vocational trainees.
