Abstract

Digital technologies can become important tools to enrich learning and provide longer-lasting effects. We have digitalized some of the Natural History Museum's dioramas and created multimedia interfaces accessible through an interactive whiteboard (IWB) to promote collaborative learning. Our aim is to enhance some biological and ecological knowledge, an essential basis for sustainability education. Thus we have developed Digital Dioramas which can be used for different levels of exploration. The users can use respectively: feelings that they can imagine, information about living things, cross-cutting themes on important biological issues with links to different aspects of everyday life. The results of the initial testing phase, carried out with teachers represent an opportunity for their professional development and show a high level of communication
