BSI Solutions launches innovative Virtual Reality Platform to enhance and accelerate the learning experience!
As schools across the nation navigate the new distance learning challenge created by the Covid-19 pandemic, innovative technologies are needed to ensure that children’s educational experience is protected and enhanced.
As an innovative solution to this growing issue BSI Solutions created the Novel Education in Virtual Reality (NEVR) platform. This interactive, fully immersive platform uses the power of virtual reality for education and training. This innovative concept in educational technology provides students and teachers stand-alone Virtual Reality headsets that enables them to enter the classroom from anywhere.
Participating educational institutions would first identify which classes would be best suited for a virtual offering for lectures. Each instructor would then work with a BSI Solutions software developer to identify how they would prefer for their classes to look and function within virtual reality. Students and instructors would be able to design and create their own avatars to use while in the virtual environment. Unique experiences such as virtual fieldtrips would also be created.
North Carolina is one of 11 states that will get more than $17.6 million in federal funds for efforts to help K-12 students get through the disruption caused by COVID-19. According to a release from the U.S. Department of Education, the money is from the Rethink K-12 Education Models Grant program and is to be used to created new ways for students to continue learning in ways that meet their needs. Awards range from $6 million to $20 million.
BSI Solutions is currently working with several educational institutions throughout the country to implement this program.
