On-Site Learning of Ancient History: Exploring Rome
II semester, 2 CFU
Prof. in charge: Prof. Angela Cinalli
The activity is an immersive experience of Roman antiquity throughout the main monuments and material remains that embody ancient Roman history and civilization. With the aim to acknowledge ancient Roman history and culture and its influence on later developments of the city by means of a dynamic experience, students will research and present in turn to their peers selected sites, monuments, and cultural artifacts in their proper contexts. Non-presenters will be called to participate with questions and further analysis on research targets. Such hands-on, heuristic and cooperative learning approach stands on active engagement and on the flipped classroom method, in order to challenge students at developing the ability to communicate effectively using crucial information and proper sources while researching their surroundings.
