Fostering European citizenship skills to elementary school students through virtual tours and cultural heritage digital collections presented by an educational robot. The design of an educational digital game

Abstract

Educational robotics is increasingly used in elementary schools. Teachers use robots to design interdisciplinary activities to promote digital and other skills. These activities are, often, designed as part of educational games. This paper presents the design of a digital game developed on the educational robot EI-EDUROBOT. The game contains multiple choice questions based on videos, digital stories and virtual reality tours. The main educational objective is to cultivate European citizenship and introduce children to the European Union.
