This week, Avantis, a UK-based immersive learning firm, partnered with the Saint Louis Public Schools (SLPS) district to integrate its ClassVR service into 17 education institutions.
The SLPS district is leveraging federal ESSER funding to secure XR learning software and hardware. Moreover, according to Avantis, this gives the 17 schools “thousands” of AR and VR learning content from its ClassVR service. Avantis also notes that its ClassVR solution qualifies for ESSER funding due to proven support for student achievement and addressing learning losses. Avantis Education’s Chief Executive Officer, Huw Williams, added: School and district leaders are increasingly looking to new and emerging technologies to help them support student learning, and AR/VR is a big part of these conversations. ESSER funding is making these technologies even more accessible for schools, and we are looking forward to bringing the power of virtual reality into even more classrooms, both in St. Louis and across the country. (...) Douglas Combs from Haddock Education Technologies, who assisted with the ESSER funding, also added: When schools come to us asking about the benefits of AR and VR technology in the classroom, we know ClassVR will provide them with what they want. At SLPS, school leaders were seeking something cool and exciting to engage students in the content they were learning in class. ClassVR is the perfect fit. (...) The UK-based company offers its VR-based Metaverse learning solution to schools, providing immersive learning spaces that enable students and teachers to interact in VR classrooms from a secure and controlled environment. Huw Williams said at the time of Eduveres’s debut: “The Eduverse powers all our world-class VR offerings and helps teachers bring thousands of amazing, immersive educational experiences into their classrooms in a safe and secure online platform. It provides them with endless possibilities to engage their students, all from a collaborative environment to bring subject matter to life. (...) Source
