DIVO (Ditigal Evolution - The Journey): AR game to support the basic digital skills of low-skilled adults

The project DIVO (Digital Evolution - The Journey) is an Erasmus+ adult education project that aims to develop and support the basic digital capacity and abilities of low skilled adults in the digital world. It aims to present learning environments with an innovative approach to those adult individuals who have low skills, such as the elderly, unemployed and others without basic digital skills. Therefore, we are creating an educational game in the AR (augmented reality) environment that will support adult people to have self-confidence to use cyber words without any hesitation and thus they will become familiar with cyber world’s features. The game, which started concrete as a board game and continues in the digital environment, aims to soften the transition process of adults who experience technological disabilities. The game we have developed is a trivia-based game with versatile tasks to develop digital skills and competence of the players. The game is currently in its last testing phases.
Via these learning environments, low-skilled adult learners, who are our target group, will have the chance to be educated digitally then to educate themselves. The game will initiate on the table in the form of tactile content and will carry on in a digital environment. Game-based learning will take the attention of the final target audience and will decrease their tendency to surrender. Via this game / simulation, the disadvantaged people will be given a very smooth transition when they slide into the digital environment and thus side effects which may rise will be prevented. The game will boost the dialogue between youth and adults and social inclusion will happen.
