Exploring cultural heritage landscapes in an interactive game-based learning application

This study presents a tool which supports the exploration of the landscape of ancient Amphipolis. Users can navigate into the landscape using an animated Pegasus cartoon and they are guided by an ancient philosopher cartoon. Once a student reaches a point of interest teaching material of various forms (i.e. text, images, video and external sources) appear. Following, the study of the material, students can take up a quiz to test their knowledge. The application has been evaluated with the help of teachers and students. The results were quite satisfactory as the majority of the users were positive towards our system in both dimensions of the evaluation experiments.
