The document discusses the establishment of a tool designed to enhance immersive learning experiences for exceptionally able students, addressing systemic deficiencies in support and engagement for this demographic. It highlights the importance of collaborative, creative skills development in a 3D immersive environment to cater to diverse learners, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Furthermore, the pilot project demonstrates how modern technology can assist in fulfilling educational needs while promoting motivation and achievement among high potential students.

It was great that they could work on what they wanted and on something truly challenging.

It is very timely given the Department of Education and Skills’ prioritisation of numeracy at both primary and post primary level. The use of a 3D learning environment and geometric building tools by children to collaboratively build 3D replicas generating a fully interactive world powered by their own software is very much in line with the thinking and implementation of the project maths curriculum at post primary which is being rolled out at present to all schools.” Jerome Morrisey, NCTE Director For more information http://www.missionv.com Email: james@daynuv.com
