Abstract

Research in the educational and didactic fields of recent times increasingly highlights that the use of new technologies in educational systems favors the improvement of learning. In fact, the network can be used to plan and carry out educational activities and itineraries. Furthermore, the use of telematics in education systems shows great potential in relation to access to knowledge and the quality of the knowledge that is transmitted. For this reason, the use of new technologies is a qualifying element because it allows access to a previously unthinkable quantity and variety of information resources; Internet is a multimedia archive capable of allowing the individual to undertake knowledge paths that can be modeled on personal times and cognitive styles. The most recent technical evolution, then, shows us how new technologies can become useful tools for activating experiences that put the subject in contact with the world and stimulate the ability to express oneself and discover in an original and creative way. In this direction, the applications of the so-called Metaverse, which use technology to broaden the cognitive perception of the individual, integrates and expands the concept of e-learning, promoting collaboration and physical involvement of students, linking the acquisition of knowledge to action and interaction with the context.
