VIRTUA
Immersive Learning Solutions
Why?
The Virtua mission is to improve the success of students, and so institutions, through the delivery of virtual immersive learning solutions.
- We remove “the impossible” from STEM courses by:
- leveraging digital media (video, animation, and interactive figures and diagrams),
- virtual reality (VR) environments, and
- machine learning (AI) to increase understanding of abstract concepts.
“If asked, I would wish for online resources that explained concepts like I do in class: hands-on, interactive teaching. This is immersion. “
Problem Summary
Problem 1: Lack of Flexibile Learning
Applied experiential learning is restricted by a physical classroom further limited by scheduling, health and safety, resources and consumables.
Problem 2: Student Retention and Graduation Rates
Students drop out a due to lack of applied experiential learning and customizable learning, as well as inflexibility of study.
Problem 3: Inadequate Student Preparedness
Students arrive without the necessary critical thinking skills and sound fundamentals in STEM.
Virtual Interactive Textbooks
The catalogue of digital publications will include interactive textbooks incorporating embedded live action and animation videos to help explain 4D concepts.
