The majority of us learn best when seeing and doing<\/em>, as such there\u2019s nothing better than an immersive simulated experience to help promote long-term assimilation of knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n

When we are presented with information in an engaging and exciting format, such as the fantastical scenarios in Campus-XR, neurotransmitters; dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin are stimulated. Collectively they enhance learning by optimising memory, attention and mood – functions crucial to the long-term acquisition of new information and skills in the developing, highly neuroplastic brain, of a young person.<\/p>\n

Campus-XR incorporates \u201c6 degrees of freedom\u201d, which means each learning environment can be fully traversed and explored, just like real life, it\u2019s not a passive experience or a 360-degree guided tour like other Virtual Reality experiences . Learners can make their own choices, pick up objects, shake hands with their friends and walk or fly around (using jet packs), exploring and learning whilst having fun!<\/p>\n
