Why is it important?

The core findings shed new theoretical insights on digital cultural expression, self-preservation and improves users' experiences of digital cultural products and industry. Thus, digital culture is nurtured by a shared boundary across the interpretative flexibility of new digital tools.

Perspectives

Writing the article forced me to re-think my relationship with digital cultural expression, self preservation and the co-production of heritage assets by students. through the lens of approaches to using e-learning. Unfortunately, there is little understanding of cultural expression using digital media to explore the affordances and utilization of digital forms on users. Finally, I hope that the article brings the application of digital tools and associated theories in the settings of culture in new ways within the eye of scholarly analysis.
