The research presents an interactive, stimulating and enrichingmethodology
for the students of the Archaeology Degree, using Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) and the application of virtual environments in the
teaching-learning process. Beyond the clear benefits of virtual tours in the interpretation,
dissemination and knowledge of historical sites and their surroundings,
they can also mean a really useful tool in the teaching practice. In this way, the
present proposal is designed to verify how the access to multi-source and spatially
geolocated information allows students to acquire basic knowledge and
skills to understand multi-causal historical phenomena, which also have to be
located in their geographical, historical and cultural/artistic context. This fact
makes these virtual tools a unique opportunity for professors to introduce them
into the teaching-learning process. This contribution is thus essential to help students
to contextualize the theoretical knowledge and bring them closer to the real
archaeological practice, allowing them to better understand the challenges they
will face in their future professional life.
