Part of our MOOC family was at the TANA meeting in Berlin: Tilman Lenssen-Erz, Sofia Fonseca, Alexa Hohn, Friederike Jesse, Michele Dinies, Johana Sigl and Jorg Linstadter.
We presented the progress made in our project since Aswan and the next steps to move us forward.
There were great presentations and discussions with our colleagues from the Entangled Africa programme.
And we had the pleasure and honour of having the DAI President Friederike Fless, with us.

In Namibia recording more videos for our MOOC on A frican archaeology and African heritage. Namibian rock art will be one of the case studies with a special focus on heritage management by the community to the community.
In August, we meet in Bonn, at the German Archaeological Institute, to work on editing our videos for the MOOC.
We went through all the material we already have and start editing. Not an easy task but Heiko and Juliette, from MomentMal TV, know what to do!

Our movies must have between 5 and 10 minutes so we can upload them to our online platform.
Another important aspect is the sound. You can have the most amazing footage, but if the sound is not good, the students will not be able to understand and engage with the lessons!

In June 2019 we head to Mozambique! Our team included MomentMal TV crew, Jörg Linstädter, archaeologist and scientific director of the Commission for Archaeology of Non-European Cultures of the DAI, and Décio Muianga, lecturer and research assistant at the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, at Eduardo Mondlane University, in Maputo.
Jörg and Décio will explain one of our case studies regarding Mozambique, in this case, the project they are developing in the Changalane region.
Sabrina Stempfle, from Hamburg University and Sheila Machava from Eduardo Mondlane University, also joined us on the field. They will be responsible for our MOOC lesson on archaeometry, using the pottery collected in Changalane and afterwards using geochemical analysis methods in the laboratory in Hamburg.

In January 2019 we had our consortium meeting in Faro, at the University of Algarve, in Portugal. Nuno Bicho, the Director of ICArEHB and one of the consortium founders, welcome us on the beautiful Algarve for three days of hard work.
We had interesting discussions moving forward on our project. By the end of the meeting we closed the MOOC structure, defined the different modules, the lessons inside each module, the case studies to be presented and the online platform that better suits our objective and purpose.
Some filming was made by MomentMal TV, our filmmaking team, on ICArEHB and the projects being developed in Mozambique.
We also schedule our work for the year ahead and the amount of work we will have done until December 2019.
Many challenges and exciting months ahead of us!

Definitely, 2018 was a big year for the ONLAAH project! In March we had the general meeting of TANA- TransArea Network Africa, in Egypt, on the beautiful city of Aswan.
We presented our projects to our DAI colleagues and start filming some videos for the MOOC, with the team from MomentMal TV. We filmed a general introduction to the course and some interviews with DAI researchers working in Africa.
These first movies are very important to us because they will establish the ‘formula’ for the MOOC visual and the way we approach learning.

Later in September, we were in Barcelona to present ONLAAH, at the “24th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologist: Reflecting Futures”. We organized the session 481, “Traditional and (Alternative) New Media: Different Ways to Communicate upon Archaeology”, where apart of ONLAAH many other projects related with new ways of communicated and related with the public were explored.
In our presentation titled: Why Archaeology Matters? Digging up Archaeology’s Role in Modern Societies”, we summarized our project trajectory and results till now, our main goals to the future and the next steps to take us there.
