MEDIA LITERACY
AR & VR FOR THE EDUCATION AT CULTURAL HERITAGE
METHODOLOGY
The Course is addressed to those interested in developing engaging, immersive edutainment experiences on art and culture for young people and adults in education or cultural tourism, exploiting methods and technologies of “Full Reality Continuum”, including augmented and virtual reality.
The methodology addresses the issue of enhancing cultural heritage in a completely new way.
The training methodology deals with the design and implementation of digitally enhanced art events and cultural heritage experiences.
The sessions provide training in the theory, operating methods and cutting-edge design tools for the development of digitally enhanced art events and cultural heritage experiences.
The course consists of two parts:
- a basic introduction to key concepts, tested models and effective digital tools to improve the learning experience in culture and art;
- a project-based hands-on advanced workshop focused on staging an augmented-reality-powered cultural heritage experience.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The Course intends to provide participants with the skills and competencies needed to develop digitally enhanced art events and cultural heritage experiences.
The main learning outcomes are:
- Co-design, co-create and stage museatrical (museum+theatre) representations of local heritage, traditions and art;
- Develop theoretical and practical competences in digital valorisation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage;
- Understand key concepts regarding spatial computing and machine learning with special attention to their application to augmented reality;
- Design of augmented reality experiences, using tested models like museater, digital monument and digital ghosts;
- Drama-based basic digital storytelling techniques;
- Use of virtual reality to expedite production of digital content for augmented reality experiences or video production;
- Identification of the right open license to publish the work produced.
