About the project

Objectives:
The ERASMUS+ project Virtual Worlds in teaching Archaeology at:

  • establishing virtual worlds as Open Educational Resources by sharing, standardising, and making available 3D datasets and VR environments;
  • developing learning scenarios for integrating virtual worlds into curricula of institutions for higher education;
  • testing and evaluating learning scenarios at different institutions to learn about pitfalls and benefits of teaching with and in virtual worlds;
  • communicating and disseminating the experience gained in the project to foster the digital transformation of education at institutions for higher education.

Activities:
In order to reach the objectives, the project will

  • gather, produce, and describe 3D datasets of archaeological objects and VR environments of archaeological sites for use in teaching and widely available online.
  • design, develop and test several seamless learning scenarios that use 3D and VR technologies to support the learning process of learners in and across contexts.
  • publish a scientific paper and organise an international conference in order to disseminate its products and results.

Outcomes:

  • a collection of 3D datasets and VR environments openly available online ready for teaching at institutions for higher educaiton;
  • seamless learning scenarios that support the learning process when using 3D and VR technologies;
  • train the trainer manuals in four languages on how to apply the learning scenarios;
  • evaluation of testing the learning scenarios to understand benefits and pitfalls of teaching with virtual technologies;
  • scientific paper and conference proceedings as knowledge transfer
