Example of Implementation
The project was presented as a virtual reality exploration of the planet Mars, in which negotiation, planning, and decision-making were necessary to achieve the goal. The protagonists were young adult students at risk of exclusion, engaged to collaborate, solve problems, and work toward gender equality.
The authors correlate the case study activities to several learning taxonomies and inclusive paradigms. They also propose the basis of an action-oriented framework for developing a smart pedagogy of digital transformation.

2) Try adapting this educational proposal to your own teaching environment, to determine how virtual reality and Serious Games could help to encourage better inclusion, communication, and equity.
