PLUNGING FROM THE 21ST CENTURY INTO ANCIENT GREECE. A STUDY ON HOW VISUAL THINKING CAN HELP HISTORICAL EDUCATION THROUGH THE GAME ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY

For recent generations, the accumulation of knowledge goes through different procedures from the classical ones, a considerable element being the replacement of traditional readings with other sources of information. But some disciplines require quite a lot of documentation and it is hard to remember all of the information and then be able to share it with others. This article is proposing a different approach to how history is taught to the younger generation, by underlining the importance of having fun while learning. Using the game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey as an example, I will explain why visual thinking is a more effective method through which history can become fun.
