Abstract

The subject of this master's thesis is the design, development, and evaluation of a comprehensive e-course (digital course), which is aimed at primary school students (5th and 6th grade). The central thematic axis of the intervention is familiarizing children with the concepts of Hospitality and Tourism. In order to overcome the limitations of traditional teaching, an interactive learning environment was developed on the Wix platform, which unfolds around the original digital story "Robotakis and his friends". On a pedagogical level, the architecture of the e-course is founded on Project-Based Learning and the Narrative Model. Within this framework, students do not act as passive receivers but are called upon to take action and accomplish a specific digital mission. The educational process is enriched with gamification strategies, where children attempt to complete certain challenges. Through this specific process, students complete the flow of exercises and receive a personal "diploma" as a final reward, a fact that enhances their sense of achievement and their intrinsic motivation. For the optimal support of the learning experience, two modern technologies are functionally integrated. On the one hand, Augmented Reality (AR) is utilized through the ARTutor application. This technology enriches the educational material with additional interactive digital elements, adding a more experiential dimension to the presentation of the learning information. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is integrated into the environment as a "smart" digital assistant. Its role is to provide support and feedback (scaffolding) the moment the student interacts with the exercises, ensuring the smooth progression of learning. In conclusion, the research aspires to demonstrate how the combination of modern digital tools (AI and AR) with gamified teaching methods can create an attractive and effective e- course. Through this, education ceases to be a static process and transforms into an exciting journey of discovery for primary education students.
