Abstract
The ERASMUS+ Higher Education Project AD HOC (92019-1-MK01-KA203-060269) introduced a
new cultural heritage infrastructure for audiences with special needs. The main aim is to make accessi-
ble places of cultural significance by facilitating cognitive-emotional experiences in the digital domain.
A cognitive driven communication pattern has been developed and adapted to the conditions regu-
lating learning in the informal environment. The pattern employs storytelling to decongest working
memory from irrelevant cognitive loads, enabling new cognitive content to relate to prior knowledge.
A mixed methodology has been applied merging the principles of hermeneutics, human cognitive ar-
chitecture, instructional design and digital storytelling to effectively address the needs of audiences
with special needs.
Key words: hermeneutics, human cognitive architecture, audiences with special needs, heritage interpre-
tation, digital storytelling

Visokošolski projekt ERASMUS+ AD HOC (92019-1-MK01-KA203-060269) je uvedel novo infra-
strukturo kulturne dediščine za občinstvo s posebnimi potrebami. Glavni cilj je bil narediti dostopne
kraje kulturnega pomena s spodbujanjem kognitivno-čustvenih izkušenj v digitalni domeni. Razvit je
bil kognitivno usmerjen komunikacijski vzorec prilagojen razmeram, ki urejajo učenje v neformalnem
okolju. Vzorec uporablja pripovedovanje zgodb za razbremenitev delovnega spomina pred nepomemb-
nimi kognitivnimi obremenitvami, kar omogoča, da se nova kognitivna vsebina poveže s predhodnim
znanjem. Uporabljena je bila mešana metodologija, ki združuje načela hermenevtike, človeške kogni-
tivne arhitekture, zasnove poučevanja in digitalnega pripovedovanja zgodb za učinkovito obravnavanje
potreb občinstva s posebnimi potrebami.
