ARLectio® Treasure Hunt

ARLectio Treasure Hunt (ARLectio TH) is an educational Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt based on the ARLectio® system. Leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) technology, it combines fun and learning by enabling a unique and engaging educational experience that spans across multiple disciplines. The system is designed for Primary and Secondary school students.

 

Thus, the main goal of ARLectio TH is to provide students with a hands-on, stimulating learning experience that engages educational topics in an interdisciplinary way using Augmented Reality.
Using ARLectio TH, it is possible to design educational activities involving teachers and students who can be both users and authors by collaborating in creating the stories and content.

 

To prepare an Educational Treasure Hunt using ARLectio TH, one would start by designing a virtual map of the area where the treasure hunt will take place. This could be the school campus or a safe surrounding area. Then, key points (the stages) on the map that correspond to specific topics in different disciplines should be identified.
Next, educational content related to the disciplines involved will be created. For example, if it is a history scavenger hunt, clues related to historical events could be included.

 

For the preparation of content and enjoyment of the designed pathways you use this platform, which after authentication allows you to create teaching resources in a simple and intuitive way so that the activities focus on content and the actual experience.Access to the platform requires registration, with approval by CNR ITD staff, and is totally free. So the use of the app and the system for creating educational content is free.

 

From a technological point of view, mobile devices already in the possession of the school or students, including low-cost and therefore fully sustainable ones, can be used to enjoy the content.

 

ARLectio Treasure Hunt is intended to help provide an engaging educational experience, making learning an exciting and memorable adventure.
