Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound impacts on teaching conservation, for which access to cultural heritage artefacts and conservation laboratories are critical components of training. University College London’s (UCL) move to online delivery during the 2020–21 academic year necessitated the development of new activities that could be conducted safely at home to meet fundamental pedagogic goals. Home-teaching kits and digital artefact dossiers were developed to facilitate independent student learning guided by module aims and programme curricula to replace practical sessions. Each project facilitated fundamental summative and formative knowledge-creation related to the interpretation and identification of ceramic and adhesive materials. Preparation of module kits and dossiers was time consuming and required clear communication and additional UCL financial support. Despite these challenges, student response was enthusiastic and foundational learning goals were met. As UCL commits to blended in-person and remote learning post-pandemic, these resources will be refined to maximise student learning.
