Abstract
School Without Walls (SWW) is one of the novelties of the Iscol@ project - Line B2, conceived to address school disaffection in Sardinia, Italy. Lab. activities are based on, but not limited to, the use of mobile devices, Augmented Reality (AR) and georeferenced maps. Such technologies are used to create educational scenarios that connect what is being seen in real life to school curricula. All scenarios (geolocated data and related queries) are meant to be shared and reused through a Web platform. It will be possible to adapt existing content to different geographical sites by simply changing and/or setting the new coordinates, edit text and data to match the new location. The educational content and geopoints will be created by teachers and students on the Web platform, and scenarios will be accessed through a mobile App. Living technological enriched experiences at and outside school will contribute to a greater school-student retention. This paper describes the context and general objectives of this Lab. activity, which is to start at the beginning of 2018.
