The aim of the project is to develop and apply an innovative set of software for history education, that makes the attainment of educational goals set by relevant curricula documents more effective. The resulting multimedia environment features connectivity with all commonly used Learning management systems and improves the efficiency of teacher-student communication. The environment includes learning objects organized by metadata architecture, which itself implements current didactic principles. In line with modern didactics and history, a user is guided using scaffolding method to adopt skills critical to work with primary sources. The use of the guidance of the user improves the implementation of this innovative method for the target groups.
