European Project Knights of the European Grail will be holding a meeting today in Rome prior to initiating tests on the prototype that provides a fun approach to learning six European languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese), immerging students into a medieval environment in which they have to complete a mission full of mysteries.
The on-line game includes cutting-edge technology like AR and VR to allow the students not only to access the language they wish to learn, but also to familiarise with the culture and history of different countries.
Would you be interested in testing the new app?
If you wish to try the prototype and participate in its testing, either using it in class or at home, write to corsi@mondodigitale.org indicating “knights” in the subject line.
PROJECT PROFILE
The objective of European Project knIghtS oF thE EuroPean Grail - Creating a Game-based Approach for Learning (Erasmus+ KA2 funding), a 36-month project that will end in August 2023, is to develop and test a serious game as an innovative pedagogic tool for teaching languages, an adventure game including content in virtual and augmented reality set between the Middle Ages and modern times and based on famous stories related to our common European heritage.
The prototype of “Knights of the European Grail” provides a fun approach to learning six European languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese), immerging students into a medieval environment in which they have to complete a mission full of mysteries.
Players create individual gender-neutral avatars based on profession, life, etc. (i.e., a shopkeeper, a knight, urban or country life). The players then interact on-line with other characters. The main challenges are presented through books (augmented reality content) that provide further information.
