the latest, most accurate and real-time aerial photography and mapping. Other means to capture data
may also be incorporated into future projects, such as GIS, LiDAR, sensors, and others. Throughout the
documentation process, most of the drawings are also done digitally, making it more convenient and
efficient for editing, updates and collaborative working. Digital content can be seamlessly transformed to
produce digital representations that offer new experiences to visitors, such as through virtual reality,
augmented reality and mixed realities. Furthermore, digital content displayed on websites made heritage
learning accessible beyond physical boundaries. However, digital exhibitions may incur higher costs and
lack the tactile experience of physical exhibitions. Analogue techniques capture tangible and material
records of heritage. From the projects conducted, the analogue data collection techniques such as clay
and plaster mouldings, tracings, measured drawings and meeting people for interviews become part of
the student’s experiential learning. Physical data collection evokes the senses and feelings towards the
sites that cannot be captured from a virtual experience. In the documentation process, the analogue
techniques such as model making, creating physical infographic displays and organizing the exhibition
spaces encourage critical spatial thinking and motor skills for students. In the exhibition, physical displays
offer a more tangible experience as visitors can physically see and interact with the exhibits. Displays can
be designed using various techniques, materials, forms, sizes and textures to create and produce different
intended experiences. However, the drawbacks of physical displays are their durability, mobility and the
need for storage.

There are significant benefits when analogue techniques are combined with digital techniques in
documenting and exhibiting landscape heritage. First, integrating both techniques can enrich the
understanding heritage places since heritage comes with tangible and intangible components. In the
learning process, documentation can aid students to comprehend their sites better and produce richer
findings to be disseminated to others through the exhibitions. Second, the hybrid exhibition displays can
attract the varied interests of visitors from different age groups. Digital technologies make it possible to
create immersive and interactive displays to attract the younger generation, while physical displays offer
a more familiar form of exhibition for others. An exhibition is a crucial platform to promote awareness by
disseminating knowledge informally, where learning happens through experience. Increasing public
awareness of the value of heritage preservation can cultivate a sense of responsibility among visitors as
they see, read and learn about the site. Third, integrating different instruments and tools fosters
interdisciplinary approaches in heritage documentation. It promotes new learning and the sharing of
knowledge and experience between the students and visitors. Heritage documentation projects
require continuous reflection, evaluation, exploration, adaptation, and refinement. Each project can
inform what works best and what could be improved, the benefits and the drawbacks, and lessons for
improvement in future projects. For this course, the techniques gradually shift over the years. In
conclusion, using analogue and digital techniques in landscape heritage documentation and exhibition has
several benefits for learning heritage. Immersive exhibitions engage the public, attract visitors to the
heritage sites, and encourage learning on the various ways of how heritage can be documented. The use
of multiple methodologies in these projects' execution highlights the value of reflection, review,
exploration, adaptation, and refining in heritage documentation. Heritage researchers may produce more
meaningful documentation of landscape heritage by combining the advantages of both analogue and
digital approaches, assuring its preservation and enjoyment for future generations.
