BETT SHOW REVIEW
To help visitors better understand the cross-curricular value of VR/AR, ClassVR ambassadors were on-stand for the duration of the show, sharing their best practice insights on a range of topics including ‘Virtual Reality: Neuroempathy & Supporting Neurodiversity’.
Delivered by Simon Luxford-Moore, Head of e-Learning at ESMS, this daily session demonstrated how VR can help better educate neurotypical learners about the differences and challenges some neurodivergent peers experience. It also explored how VR is successfully supporting those with “big emotions” in neurotypical environments, increasing engagement in class and providing a tool to help self-regulate.
An award-winning solution – loved by students Alongside non-stop on-stand excitement during the show, Avantis Education had further cause for celebration after being crowned winner of International Digital Educational Resource at the Bett Awards.
According to the Bett judges: “Congratulations to Avantis Education for turning virtual, augmented and mixed reality into a transformational experience on a global scale. With localisation available in 27 languages and curriculum alignment spanning over 11 key areas, Class VR can not only expand learning opportunities for students but also has the potential to make a truly positive impact on enriching educational outcomes.”
Announced at a gala dinner on the first night of the three-day event, the company’s latest award success for ClassVR proved an excellent springboard for the remainder of the show – including a student takeover on the Friday.
Pupils from John Keats Primary School took over the VR/AR reigns to share their experiences of using ClassVR in class. Speaking clearly and confidently as they led demonstrations for visitors, the students navigated a wide range of ClassVR playlists to explain why VR/AR is truly cross-curricular and how it helps them to learn in different ways.
