Abstract

Innovative digital tools such as immersive videos or augmented reality can prove to be useful for university teaching of geosciences, which allow for the exploration of space, the vision of places, landforms and landscapes and the understanding of the ongoing processes even without having to carry out educational field excursions. These technologies -initially introduced and tested during the COVID Sars pandemic restrictions- can now be used to allow a large number of students to observe the territory and its features without the physical, economic and temporal limitations that instead characterize normal field teaching. In this contribution, we present the immersive teaching experience carried out at the University of Milan starting from 2019 and the students’ appreciation of it.
