An innovative didactic experiment in the context of the Jurisprudence Faculty of the Milan University

In Italy Universities/Secondary schools are discovering new media channels as tools to close students to traditional matters, using new approaches closer to their behaviors renewing teaching methodologies. Moreover teaching systems seem to be still too traditional, because they often suppose students as passive users of information. Additionally, new technologies are used just to transpose traditional messages in a new media and not rethinking the shape of the contents.In our experiment we tried to directly involve students in the process of creating a University course, applying the concept of “learn-by-doing”. In a context historically far from technology, like the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the University of Milan, we obtained very satisfactory results both from the viewpoint of the contents and from the viewpoint of the technology application. This approach has been integrated into the learning process through a teaching methodology with enhanced outcomes when compared with traditional classroom learning.
