The Pollicina Project: A Social Learning Management System to Create Personalized Cultural Itineraries

The Pollicina project is aimed at defining a social learning management system, called Educational Social Network (EduSN), that follows the principles of the flipped learning paradigm. Students are involved to create thematic cultural paths on the territory through the cultural institutions that joined the project (such as: museums, churches, archaeological sites, etc.). With this new tool it is possible to obtain an active participation in the cultural life: students will approach the historical and cultural issues through a direct involvement in enjoyable activities, sharing experiences, ideas, multimedia material and social feedback. This paper presents the “ArtTour” service dedicated to the definition of the cultural paths.
