Valerio Alfano

Valerio Alfano is an educationalist specialising in adult education, a university tutor at Suor Orsola Benincasa University and an expert trainer in digital transition for schools. His work lies at the intersection of the philosophy of technology, immersive media, the educational potential of gaming and artificial intelligence. Believing that innovation means integrating digital tools only where they genuinely enable learners to overcome educational barriers, he has devised the Kolb-XR theoretical framework, which reinterprets experiential learning through extended reality. He is the author of the essay ‘AI: opium of the masses or mental extension?’.
