Ricerca. Sguardi celesti
Il progresso delle nuove tecnologie permea ogni aspetto della nostra vita, sociale e lavorativa, assumendo un ruolo sempre più cruciale anche in ambito educativo e didattico. Pensiamo, ad esempio, all’impiego di simulazioni interattive, alla realtà virtuale e aumentata, che consentono di esplorare virtualmente fenomeni scientifici complessi, rendendo così l’apprendimento non solo coinvolgente ma anche tangibile. […]
