A New Era of Interactive Virtual Classrooms

Gurugram, 03rd August 2024: Edverse, a unique metaverse platform designed for online education, announced the launch of Learnspace, a pioneering platform that aims to change the virtual education landscape. The newly launched LearnSpace will continue to raise the benchmark in a digital classroom by providing an immersive and engaging learning environment.

In the growing world of digital education, the Indian online education market is projected to reach US$6.71bn in 2024. With a wide range of opportunities and avenues for investment and R&D, the sector has a lot to offer to the patrons. Additionally, institutions have also started to add online courses to their curriculum to not only expand but also transform the way education is imparted. For example, BITS-Pilani’s Work Integrated Learning Programmes (WILP) and PGDM and Certificate courses by universities/institutes like SPJIMR, MICA, Amity University and others; now offer numerous online programs, underscoring the growing trend.

In this evolving landscape, LearnSpace is a pioneering platform that aims to transform virtual education. The platform features customizable avatars, allowing learners, creators, promoters, and educators to create digital representations and operate within the metaverse. In virtual classrooms, these avatars enhance user identity, participation, and presence.

With dynamic scene presentations and environments, LearnSpace enables educators to create visually engaging classes. By incorporating interactive simulations, 3D models, and short movies, teachers can explain complex topics in an exciting and an easy way. This transforms ordinary lessons into captivating educational activities, keeping learners engaged and enhancing their understanding.

“We are excited about launching LearnSpace, a platform that reflects our initiative in education sector,” said Rishab Kapur, Co-Founder and Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Edverse. He further adds “The increase in cost of education in the last few years, especially after the pandemic, prompted many institutions to switch to online education. This shift not only makes learning more affordable but also attracts higher student engagement. As we prepare for a world of online learning, we are building Edverse to offer an immersive learning experience at a lower cost than traditional methods. Our aim is to provide educators with the tools to design exhaustive and interactive learning environments that inspire and motivate learners. LearnSpace evidences our commitment to continuously improve this landscape. The future is here, and institutes must adopt or get left behind!”

In addition to visual enhancements, LearnSpace leverages special audio effects to create an immersive auditory environment. In the virtual environment, these effects can counterfeit real-life noises, giving the experience coherence and depth. For Instance, while studying a history lesson related to ancient Rome, learners may listen to crowded streets or loud noises produced by gladiators, which helps make the learning process more memorable for the future.

Edverse’s LearnSpace is designed to cater to the various needs of modern-day learners and instructors. Learners can choose to optimize their online schooling experience by personalizing avatars that communicate with audio files in various dialects combined with animated scenes or environments presented within certain specific scenarios, allowing it to accommodate diverse academic requirements. This is an online platform that teachers can use to implement various approaches while allowing students to select their suitable strategies according to personal preferences or requirements. Therefore, learners must be more motivated to learn in such an appealing classroom.

Also, the LearnSpace utilizes cutting-edge features such as – machine learning, AI, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and evolves the flat 2D graphic displays to stereoscopic, highly engaging teaching and learning scenarios presented on dispersed screens and head-mounted displays (HMDs).
