Chapter 6
Handbook of Research on 3-D Virtual Environments and Hypermedia for Ubiquitous Learning
project promoted by Culture 2000 European Programme, carried out from 2006 to 2009. It concerned the definition of cultural interconnections among three archaeological sites: Magna Graecia in Italy, Glauberg in Germany, and Biskupin in Poland and its main objectives were the following: - the sharing and highlighting of common Cultural Heritages of European significance, - the use of state-of-the-art technology to make European heritage more visible and accessible, - the improvement of access and participation in culture and in new technologies for all citizens of the EU, - cooperation activities between cultural operators and technological experts for spreading European culture through the newly established International network.

Abstract
“Connecting European Culture through New Technology – NetConnect” is a project promoted by Culture 2000 European Programme, in which three 3D cultural scenarios have been realized and used for educational purposes. This chapter illustrates how the immersive NetConnect virtual worlds offer a technology-enhanced constructivist learning through different educational paths, that have been designed according to different levels: global/particular perspective (cultural goods are known as single historical and artistic product, as well as in relational terms with the urban space); manipulation (users can explore the content and learn by doing); - a multimedia section including videos, Pictures, and texts; details (daily life scenes are reconstructed on the basis of ancient documentation providing specific information).
