A SERIOUS GAME FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF LEARNING. A CASE OF STUDY IN CALVELLO (Potenza)

In 2015 in Calvello, a small town near Potenza, a project of restoration and refurbishment of the Castle was presented, which among other actions involved the construction of a ceramics museum. Within this museum have been developed several applications, two immersive videos and an interactive serious game intended as an "enabling platform", which allows visitors to learn the execution techniques and the peculiarities of ceramics in a precise historical period. The simulation of serious games allows users to make experiences, that is to concretely represent what we only know on a theoretical level and so to learn very quickly. Serious games represent a real revolution in education strategies: thanks to their ability to simulate different aspects of the experience, they are an effective tool for the acquisition and the enhancement of learning in different sectors.
