Expanding the virtual learning horizons: the case of Galileo and Copernicus space-based technologies and services
Ulpia Elena BOTEZATU, Ella Magdalena CIUPERCĂ
This article delves into the impact of space technologies and services, specifically Galileo and Copernicus, on virtual learning. The study uncovers the transformative potential of integrating Galileo's satellite navigation system as well as Copernicus' Earth Observation program into virtual learning environments. By leveraging Galileo's precise positioning and Copernicus' rich environmental data, experiential learning, interdisciplinary exploration, and global collaboration are facilitated. The integration of Galileo and Copernicus expands access to educational resources, promotes environmental awareness, and fosters inclusive and interconnected virtual learning experiences that prepare learners for a sustainable future. This research serves as a catalyst, urging educators, policymakers, and researchers to harness the power of space-based services and unlock new possibilities for enhanced virtual learning on a global scale.
