What exactly is 3D immersive education? WiloStar3D has been pioneering the use of 3D immersive education with homeschooling and classroom students for distance learning now for over a decade. WiloStar3D's use of immersive education involves the use of enabling media such as Web 2.0 technologies, streaming video and audio and then submerses these technologies inside richly immersive 3D virtual worlds for students. WiloStar3D's educational worlds "immerse" and engage students in the same way that today's best video games grab and keep the attention of players. The main difference is that our accredited educational curricula and worlds have been carefully crafted and developed around constructivist and active learning strategies designed to maximize student interactivity. WiloStar3D's immersive educational 3D worlds support both self-directed learning as well as collaborative group-based learning and have been developed with one key goal in mind: to allow and encourage students to manipulate ,change, and create their worlds their way!
We see a lot of new developments in the area around 3D for learning and major excitement starting to hit the blogs and educational circles. But, let's not overlook the fact that immersive education itself has been around a long time. Traditional education is just now beginning to key in due to the popularity of other virtual world communities such as Second Life and World of Warcraft. As the only accredited 3D immersive education company solely centered around the K-12 student, you can rest assured that we have the level of experience and teaching expertise to ensure your students have a rewarding experience with us. Our entire educational program has been designed with the student in mind, not just trying to manipulate other programs such as Second Life to find ways to "make it work" for students.
Immersive education gives WiloStar3D students a sense of "being there" even when they are in romote locations and students get that "really attending school" feeling by running around our 3D campus and assuming the identities of student avatars. But the best part of WiloStar3D's immersive virtual learning environment is to see the doors of imagination blast wide open. To see students once again get exited about learning..to LOVE it again is the whole point in our eyes. Immersive education is just a tool to get there and we sure have fun on the ride! Immersive education is here to stay and if used with some solid planning, our educational research has proven that it's a tremendously effective teaching tool for online learning, particularly for creative and visual learners.
WiloStar3D believes in constant improvement based on our research into the educational experiences students have in our worlds. We have learned and what works best for our students and as a result, WiloStar3D continues to design and create educational experiences for students to maximize student success. Our newest product, Blobby Doodle Designer, has been created with the goal to allow students an easy and ground-breaking way to create 3D models for use in our worlds!
