Paper Title
INTEGRATING EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE PRESERVATION OF THE TUSUK ROCK ART SITE
Abstract
The Tusuk rock art site is an archaeologically significant location in the North East region of Ghana, but remains poorly understood since its discovery. Despite its potential to shed light on prehistoric cultures, the site faces imminent threats from population expansion, farming activities, and climate change. To address these challenges, this research explores the integration of education and technology to foster the preservation and understanding of the Tusuk site.Through advanced e-learning tools and digital platforms, the study aims to document the site comprehensively, employing 3D modeling, GIS mapping, and virtual reality to create interactive educational content for scholars, students, and the public. This approach facilitates remote learning opportunities and broadens access to the site's cultural heritage, ensuring its global significance is recognized.By collaborating with universities, industry experts, and local communities, the research underscores the role of technology in archaeology and heritage management. It proposes a model for sustainable site preservation that leverages digital education to bridge gaps between academia, industry, and society. This work aligns with the ICEEL-2025 agenda by demonstrating how interdisciplinary approaches can drive research collaborations, inspire innovative educational practices, and connect global networks in heritage preservation and technology-driven learning.
