View all news

The EPITOME project is about helping educators integrate digital learning spaces such as Minecraft to their teaching. For this purpose, it published a document which describes methods for delivering remote Project Based Learning experiences in Minecraft.

Educators can use Minecraft to engage students across subjects and bring abstract concepts to life. It is an excellent tool to engage students in learning, collaboration and critical thinking and there are numerous resources of high quality available for educators to understand and use Minecraft.

The document is titled Methods for delivering Project Based Learning experiences through Minecraft Environments and focuses on the elaboration of methods to support PBL in Minecraft Education Edition.

 The aim is to fill in an existing gap by providing educators with concrete Minecraft-aware methods for delivering PBL experiences.
